School of life part 15 : Diving

Living when bunaken around is really awesome..it's legendary..First before you could enjoy underwater you should prepared with licence (discovery is not awesome..), many institution offer diving licence, such as POSSI CMAS, PADI, SSI, ADSI, and many more..the price range offered is different. You can learn in Navy too..its free if you join the squad.
Basicly Diving licence is divided into classes :

1. Open water diver
2. Advanced diver
3. Rescue diver
4. Dive master

Just like in school, but this time you are fish schooling.

In manado you can contact local dive center, they will explain you more about the course. If you wan't the cheaper one, you should try Possi cmas, ask for the coach in Jaya Dive, located at Jl Sam Ratulangi, before Gramedia. In bunaken each dive resort offer the course from 300 Euro to 400 euro for Open Water diver. For SSI they offer 200 -300 Euro. Why in Euro?yeah it's sucks when local people have to face foreign money in their own country.

Maybe just like any outdoor activity, here's my word :

Never dive alone, touch nothing, leave nothing, and kill nothing.

Coz the corals are living organism. Love it, its legendary..
