went to P Hantu to dive. viz was incredible. incredibly bad, tt is. practically non-existent. cld barely see my hand in front of my face. i onli realized i was at the bottom when i saw it loom up right in front of my face. when surfacing, cldn't see where the surface was cos everything was all the same, greenish and murky. a sort of blind feeling. but gd training. lost my buddy on the 1st dive cos i cld hardly see anyth, so i swam ard on my own searching, along the bottom cos otherwise i'd have no mark for reference, then surfaced to find the guy alr there. current q strong, kept drifting further and further away. on the last dive, the whole bunch of us surfaced to find ourselves near the jetty (n therefore extremely far fm the boat) and drifting even further. the boat cldn't come fetch us cos its anchor was stuck. had to drift some more for ages, occasionally finning so we wldn't get carried out to sea/ towards shore (the current kept changing). my skin was practically preserved by the long immersion in salt water. i can still feel the waves rocking me. practiced rescue breaths, rescuing a 'hurt, bleeding, distressed' underwater victim, also surface panicked diver. on the ride back to the marina i got soaked frm head to toe cos the speedboat was making splashes. took the bus home with my wet swimsuit underneath my clothes, salt crystallizing on my skin. loads of hmwk undone. i'm bushed. guess i'll just leave them alone for now. failing CTs is a sure thing. |
