Congratulations to our new Rescue Divers
& Advanced Open Water Divers,
 Tioman, 8 - 11 May 2008
 

Congratulations to our newly certified Advanced Open Water Divers (AOWD) - Justin & YY (they drove all the way from Kedah to Mersing!), and Hadi.

Also, congratulations to OE's first batch of 8 Rescue Divers for 2008: Fairul, Baha, Izwas, Sarinah, Mukshin, Ila, Khai and our own Muzie! It was really hard work, yet as everyone would agree, very enjoyable and rewarding course and a joy for Halimi our instructor to teach. We had choppy water and bad visibility during the exercises but everyone did a good job.
