Advanced Diving Course with Diver's Den

Tuesday evening we booked at Diver's Den a 3Days2Nights Advanced overnight diving.
At 8 am our trip started at the peer. We checked in and drove out to the coral sea, a few hours later I had two fun dives with my buddy Patrick. It was amazing.
Playing with a sea cucumber. It was a funny and slick experience, some are poisonous by chance it wasnt.

Neutral buoyancy
Later in the day we had the first guided dive of the day. Topic: neutral buoyancy in other words: hover/float under water without touching the bottom in a no-moving position.

Night-dive
Dreamy looking to the sunset and dressing up in a slick, cold, funny looking wetsuit. The sunset was amazing, the wetsuit just wet and cold ;)
My first night dive was amazing. Big ugly fishes were hunting under my very nose and you could only see something if you used the torch.
I also saw a lot of  Sharks, White Tip or Grey Tip Reef I'm not sure, it was too dark.

Day 2 Deep & Navigation

Now I'm permitted to dive down to 30 metres instead of 18 metres. I also did a crash-course in Navigation Diving with a Compass and natural references. It's quite difficult and some times you don't know where the boat is. 


Afternoon and Day 3

6 more fun dives: 
We saw a Minke Whale, White Tip Reef Sharks, Turtles, Anemone-fishes (yellow, red and orange), Ray , Christmas-trees, Parrot fishes and many more.
