Open Water Diving ticked
Yeah!! Bucket list ticked
Water has always been a source of fear for me. Years ago, I had an unpleasant experience that nearly ended in drowning, leaving me with a deep-seated fear of being in the water. Since then, I've always avoided situations that might bring me face-to-face with that fear.
However, life has a way of challenging us to confront our fears, and recently, I decided to face mine head-on. I signed up for an open water diving course, hoping that with the right guidance, I could finally overcome the fear that had held me back for so long.
The past few days have been some of the most challenging of my life. Each dive felt like a battle between my fear and the desire to conquer it. My lack of confidence and constant worries made the experience even more difficult than it needed to be. There were moments when I doubted whether I could go through with it, moments when I thought about giving up and returning to the safety of dry land.
But I didn’t give up. Thanks to the unwavering support of my instructor,Chong Wan Yong I pushed through the doubts and the fear. With each dive, I gained a little more confidence. My instructor’s patience and encouragement were key in helping me move past the mental blocks that had been holding me back.
Today, I’m proud to say that I’ve completed the open water diving course. It wasn’t easy, and the journey was filled with challenges—most of them self-imposed—but I made it through. This was one of the items on my bucket list, making it all the more meaningful.
When I decided to take the plunge and pursue my open water diving course, I knew I needed someone who not only possessed the technical expertise but also shared an unbridled passion for the ocean. That's when I found Chong Wan Yong
