one dead fish
Yes..it rained! arghhh..very heavy one as well.
Let me brief you all my stressful dive test today. Test is at Republic of S'pore Yacht Club [RSYC]. the pool view was great. Seaview. I was whipping out my mobile to take photos when the instructor shouted for me to gather. Apparently, Alex, my super cute instructor cant make it for today's class, and found another in place. I was grumbling away to myself and to my dismay , the test started before i could swear the last word.
The ten laps swim and 10mins trap air was a breeze. After which, during the safety command test, it started to pour. Yes. When you are just beside the sea, it really pours and the wind trumpets forcefully. The paranomic view at the pool became a dread. Hearing the whimsical voice of an ah beng instructor , beneath the pounding sound of the rain, i was straining to catch his words.
The water temperature plummets. I wanted to pee. Sickening instructor tell me to pee in the pool. I refused, totally revolted with what he was saying [ though it makes sense that the sea is one big loo, but this is a swimming pool..and prissy me just cant do it in front of so many] Barely screap thru safety command test.
After that, was equipment test. Rigging on the equipments and checking the regulators, quality of air etc. It was suposed to be a breeze. But if you are doing in the rain, it immobilize you, disparately. Every task became tougher. Now i do understand the reason behind no compromise in safety in the sea. Its indeed lethal , if you do not do a thorough check.
Thot they will call it the end of the test. After which, its 4m water test. with all the safety check + safety command done 4m deep. I was famished by then. I have err..skipped lunch. Had late breakfast. And work meeting ended late..so i was swearing and cursing to myself again.
I couldnt breathe properly in the regulator, Came up to the water = fail that segment of the test. As such, i have to retake that section..sighh useless me.
It means for thur test [ yes..another one..] i have to reach there at four thirty instead of six. It means 4.30 to 10.30pm in the water. AHHHH..
I am really dreading it ...dunno why i have to put myself thru this..sigh..pure torture
