I sign up for the course as Assistant Diver and did my 2 OW dives from 24th ~25th Nov 13 at Pulau Payar, Langkawi Malaysia using the facilities under East Marine Dive Center.

The trip attended by 2 paraplegic students OW, 2 students Assistant Diver, 2 DDI Instructors and 2 fun divers. The trip was even merrier with the participation of Malaysia’s 1st DDI Level 1 OW diver Ms Ras Adiba Radzi.

Definitely it was a humble experience for me through the whole OW course. A dive experience which I never would have encountered in any of my previous dive trips. To see many helping hands given by the local staff of East Marine Dive center, the wisdom of my 2 instructors and the 2 strong will paraplegic students who didn’t hesitate at all when told to jump into the water. All these has given me a new meaning towards scuba. Now scuba diving is not just about conservation or underwater sight-seeing and photography but also a Rehabilitation of another person’s body and soul
