Diving school

The photos from the diving school were taken by Fluid Diving Center, Tahiti.

The first thing we did was practice diving at the surface. We jumped in the water, one of us practiced diving at a time, then we switched. Then it was lunch. After the instructor divided us, we dived to a depth of 6 meters for 41 minutes. The first thing we saw was a plane wreck, a small and a large boat, a desk with a computer on it, corals shaped like a heart, and two manta rays, a pink whipray and a spotted eagle ray. At the end of the day I got a dive logbook and I got my first tag stamp. On the second day we started looking for dolphins in the water, but didn't find any. We looked for turtles from the boat. We saw 3 turtles, then we dived and saw the plane and the other stuff and got my second tag and I was picked up. On the third day we went to a turtle hospital where we learned about turtles and played turtle memory. And afterwards we saw some little turtles and then we went back to the dive center and dived and learned some underwater signs, but the instructor didn't have a stamp so on the third day I didn't get a stamp and then we were done for the day.

On the fourth day we snorkeled by the boats and pulled ourselves down a rope. Then we went back to the center, after that we dived and saw the same two mantas. And there we emptied and washed our mask underwater. And then we went to the center and we were done for that day. On the fifth and last day we started diving and saw the plane and the boats. And then we went to the dive center and ate. Then we drove and dived, swam through rings under the water and looked for the Tiki statue. We found Tiki in a coral heart chest and everyone got a shell necklace. When we were done we went back and got a diploma, Fluid (diving center) t-shirt and a little book with fish in French Polynesia. And the instructors made a short film. After 5 days I got my diving certificate and can dive to a depth of 10 meters.
