Open Water

After a day of snorkeling and some hesitation Erika decided to sign up for the open water scuba diving course. Having to stay at the surface when everyone else got to dive down among the coral and colorful fish was enough to make Erika want to join in on the excitement.

There were still some doubts after the first dive, but after the second dive those doubts were soon gone.

After four days the course was completed and we were able to dive together. The second dive on this day was at a dive site Ulong channel, which is know as a shark hangout. This time was no exception, for the first 20 minutes of the dive we sat on the sandy bottom and watched 20 or so sharks swim around us.

Our diving in Palau has now come to an end but we hope that there will be more diving trips along the way.
