Started diving... And blogging

In spring 2009 I got the opportunity to do a Padi Open Water course with my company. And while I was in the water for most of my life (competitive swimming, water polo), this sport or hobby looked like it was made for me.

So after four nights of theory lessons with repeatedly setting up the diving gear and four practice rounds in the pool, at june 6th we were finally ready to go into open water (Lake Oostvoorne).

I was a little bit anxious about that first open water dive, but after a minute or two, I was already getting really comforable under water. 
Although we didn't get to see too much of wildlife, it still made me want to see more.
Me and 11 of my collegues made it through the exercises and as a bonus, we all became a member of the dive team until the end of the year.

And because of the dives I made with the dive team in mostly Lake Grevelingen, I am now so hooked that I am aiming for the Master Scuba Diver Rating.

Follow me in my quest to get that rating and in all my other diving experiences.
