Couple of days ago dive at Raymond’s point, Bunaken, was stunning. We started the dive with my Open Water student and with the great visibility the dive just felt good from the beginning.
During the dive we had couple of white tips in quite shallow depths, one huge eagle ray on top of the reef and another smaller one next to the wall. So many turtles we lost count. Incredible views and not too bad current.
My student had doubts about diving because she never felt comfortable in the water before. We took our time to work on the basics little longer than usually until she felt safe and comfortable in the water. And what a reward it was for her when we went down and all these amazing fish came to tell her that the dive course was definitely worth it!
You should have seen her eyes after this wonderful dive. That she made the right decision to fight her fears and do something out of the comfort zone. I felt so happy also. One more happy diver in the world to spread the word about the underwater world.
