Nearly the whole weekend I was concerned with water and its world under.
It begans with my second dive (currently I’m in the SSI Open Water Diver course) in a private pool near Worb. In a maximum depth of 4 meters, I learned basic things like getting back the diving regulator or how to flush water out of the mask and how to breathe with the backup regulator of my buddy.
It was pretty funny to learn these things and get the feeling of hovering in the water. Temperature of water was 27°C :-)

Then yesterday evening, a friend of mine (Angelie, Happy Birthday again!! *kiss* :-) ) celebrated her 19th birthday in the Art Café. Especial as other saturdays, there was the “Purple Night” party label, who always have other themes. Yesterday they took “Deep Blue Sea” - next thing with water related to me ;). Funny was that all accessories were spent by the Dive Center Köniz where I do my dive course. Compliments to the Art Café Crew, it looked very lovely!

Now today was the highlight of this weekend and a highlight for many years too, I think. I went first time diving in open water, exactly in the Thunersee near Oberhofen. Water was about 14 degrees and we had taken a really nice day to go diving, only little clouds appeared.
We’ve done two dives, one with a maximum depth of 8 meters and the second one in about 12 meters both for more than 30 minutes. Sight was surprisingly almost perfect! Thanks to skooba for guiding and training me!!
Yeah, my first two dives in my SSI Total Dive Log ;-)

    you did a hell of a good job under water, and made my job real easy. but never spit out that regulator again before starting your emergency ascent… ;-)
    looking forward to next sunday!
