My first open water was really good. If I had problems I asked my instructor who gave me feedback that I needed.
Sea cucumber, corals, eels, lionfish, trevelly, nemo fish etc. Tony was really patient and gave me lots of confidence. I thought I was not able to make it but I did it. |

Anna was a great student and overcame her fear of deep water, well done kidda.
