Spending my time today during weekend call, salivating over some prospective holiday locations. Right at the top of the list is actually Palau, in Micronesia. But alas! It's horrendously expensive (akin to a trip to Japan, I suspect) and getting there is a complete nightmare - expected for somewhere that's in the middle of the Pacific Ocean. I suspect the total expenses for a decent trip there (week-long) will cost in the territory of $3000-$4000 per person. I'm really whacked by the thought of swimming in the Jellyfish Lake and the spectacular diving there though. Maybe for honeymoon? Or when I get richer.
Talking about diving, Yx and I will be going for our advanced certification soon. We've originally convinced ourselves that we don't need anything more than a basic open water cert, since we love the shallows, but a look at some of these potential holiday places showed that many of the dives require an advanced certification - at least for the night dives, and deep dives. To be completely honest, I don't think the advanced certification will help very much. And I'm honestly not that fussed about night diving (think "sea monsters"). We did a couple of rather difficult dives at Nusa Penida in Bali such as drift diving, which is only covered in advanced level, and chances are we'll never go diving without a guide anyhow. =) Oh well, at least we're also getting certified for Nitrox at the same time! This one will be really useful, especially for oxygen monsters like me. And maybe one day we'll go back to Bali with an advanced cert to see the Mola Mola.
Still trying to get my paws on the underwater casing for Yx's G10.
