The second dive consisted of more buoyancy practice, diving up to 2.5 meters, swimming with full gear and a retest of the basics. Being totally submerged, looking around at fish, crabs, shells, and watching your bubbles float to the surface, all while breathing freely is just an amazing feeling. It's like so many dreams that I've had of breathing underwater previously, and now it's real. Jeju apparently has some amazing diving. We recently held the world underwater photography championships on the tiny islands/reefs right off the coast. You can see one of the islands from my apartment.
Right now my buddy Pete is here from the States, so I've been working and trying to show him around town in the meantime. He got here Wednesday and leaves Saturday, so there's only so much we can do. Today after work, Paul and I took him to Oedolgae to do a little cliff jumping and swimming. It was a nice end to a hot day.
Apparently the rain season is about to start. We are supposed to get rain 3-7 times per week until the middle/end of July. I'm not really looking forward to it, but maybe the waves will pick up.
