Day 3 diving in Koh Chang started with a trip to the wreck. Due to the fact it is too deep for Open water diver, only the advanced diver are allowed to dive in the wreck. So I started my day with snorkeling. This is the second time I am snorkeling, it seems quite fun especially with the fin and the scuba technique to clear your mask :).

There seems to be some substance in the water that sting your skin, but what the heck I snorkel around the wreck, you can see the highest part of the ship from the surface, it was quite amazing, this ship was sunk especially for the diving enjoyment and it is the biggest wreck in Thailand.

The we had lunch, and started the third dive. The CESA (Controlled Emergency Swimming Ascent) technique take 2 times for me to did it correctly. The main issue is not to open your mouth so the water doesn’t get in. Then we had a bit of the fun dive. Followed by using a compass. I was to swim with snorkel without looking at the surface and only looking at the compass towards a certain point for about 20 kick cycle, and then swim back.

The fourth and the last diving session is done by descending without holding any rope but just using the rope as guidance. I was able to do so and then some technique followed is hovering by holding your fin in sitting Buddha position. Continue with this is diving with compass towards a direction and then dive back to the point of reference where we put a marker. Then followed by fun diving around the coral. I was able to control my buoyancy better with just my lung. However it seems that I need to equalise my ear quite a lot. And at the end of this I had my open water certification. Yippee!!!
