diving certified 🌐🤿

So I’m back in Cartagena, Colombia 🇨🇴!!! 

After I returned from India, and I was subbing a bunch … I  realized I can take another trip if I wanted… so I decided why not return to Colombia?! My friend Isa was back and we were chatting and she suggested why not come back and get my open water diving certificate?? I said okay!! lol 😂 

I received the online training course via email and completed it the morning before flying out!! Yes, I’m a procrastinator!! All I needed was 75% on the final exam, and I received 76%!! Phew!! 😮‍💨 

I felt comfortable and more inclined to return and do it because the last time I was here I did the introduction course.

The first day we spent the morning in the pool practicing the signs and other exercises needed for diving. Then we went out and did it in open water. We did two dives that day. The second day we met at the pool in the morning again and practiced the necessary skills needed for open water diving. Then we went out and did two dives again. And now I’m certified!!!

I rested for 2 days before deciding to go out and do my first open water dive as a certified PADI diver!! It was so exciting!! I hope I made my instructor proud. 🌊
