another dive

me & Patrick. Yet to find Bob

Had my 2nd diving trip last week, wasn't entirely successful as I was really drained out from multiple traveling in the past week. I end up having 4 dives rather than planned 5 dives, as I was throwing up at the end of 4th dive. Not only that, I had numbness and cramps on my hands, chest & feet. Particularly on my hands, I couldn't even wipe myself from the puke. Yucks!!! 
Probably I shouldn't blame it all to my stamina, the weather wasn't very friendly too. That day, we were to have 2 simultaneous dive, we couldn't have the surface time on the boat since the boat was rocking badly, so I end up swimming in lagoon as a "resting" time. Did it without a snorkel for 1 hour, and then continue on 2nd dive. I survived the dives, but I guess it really soaked up my energy.

I asked a doctor about how serious my condition was, she said it is just "lack of salt". I realized that I didn't drink much water (as I refrained from peeing in the sea), thus leaving me dehydrated, electrolytes in my body can't move around much. Ok, next time... I am sorry Sea, need to pee on you 

my new gadgets!!!

Not all bad. This is the first time I put my dive computer on the test. She looks so cool!!!
Also, I was so lucky to see humpback whale passing when we were on the boat! So grand and beautiful. Hope to see more of them around.
And I also have my own camera this time. Not new at all, it's my old waterproof Lumix, and my dive-instructor happened to have a spare Lumix housing for me to test-on. It didn't fit well, my camera was older by 1 generation. But at least, it take some shots!!! The shots were totally OK when my instructor took it, but super blurry when I took it :(  I still need to improve stillness underwater.

Giant Clam taken with Lumix, not too bad, rite?

Here is what's happening at the resort during my visit. I didn't help, though. It was over before I started. Maybe next time.
