Today I finished my three-day open water SCUBA course. For those of you considering doing something similar, I would not recommend Zanzibar - or I guess I should say I wouldn't recommend Zanzibar in July. The SCUBA itself was easy, but everything that came with it was an adventure (as expected in a third world country I suppose). For the sake of the blog, I will start at the beginning.
The first day was actually boring. Five hours of videos followed by several tests and then a bunch of practice doing random stuff in the pool. It was a solid 8 hour day. Luckily, I was the only student which expedited the process. My instructor's name was Conway, a 25-year-old from Kenya. Since I have actually been on five dives before, and it's hardly rocket science, I was able to breeze through Day 1.
Day 2 on the other hand, or as I like to call it "SCUBA Sickness" was a whole other story. See next entry for details.
