So, here I am, not living in Sweden any longer. I moved to Malta the 3rd of February and I have now been here for nearly a month. It took me some while to settle down but after one week I went to the dive center to make a schedule for my Dive Master. In September 2011 I had done some of the things I had to accomplish to get my certification but I still had some left.<\/p>\n
The 17th of February I did my Dive Master exam, I ended up with 92 % right answers, so I passed it. That evening we celebrated with a nice dinner al. After all the studying I had finally passed the exam that had worried me a bit. It wasn\u2019t as bad as I thought it would be actually, but better to study a bit more than less, isn\u2019t it?<\/p>\n
My first two dives here in Malta, in the sea, was the 18th of February and I was helping out the instructor while he had some try divers. I love helping out and see how much the first-time-divers enjoy the trip!. I am more and more realizing that this is what I want to do for the rest of my life.<\/p>\n After the try dives me and another Dive Master Trainee did our equipment exchange, it was hilarious. We had different cylinders (me with a 10 and the other one with a 12) and also different weights in the BCD and on the weight belt. I therefore I was a bit afraid that when we were going to change BCD and belt one of us would float to the surface<\/a>. This didn\u2019t happen fortunately and we both passed!<\/p>\n After this one we also did the 100 m tow diver, the last thing on my physic test, I did the swimming test in September 2011. Also this one went great, even though we had a hard time with current and waves.<\/p>\n The 20th of February me and my instructor went to Cirkewwa, a very nice dive site with two really nice wrecks and even a arch and some swim throughs. I did the dive briefing and the leading of a dive for my certification and I did great. <\/p>\n My instructor told me today that in a week or two I be certified – yeah! Soon I will be a Dive Master<\/a> or as my boyfriend calls me – a Diva Master \ud83d\ude09 One step towards my goal is soon taken and then I will go on with the AI and IDC, the exams are in May, I really hope I will pass that as well… Ready to go diving!<\/p>\n Guest Blog written by: Camilla Appelgren<\/p>\n What are your thoughts about the dive master course?
