At last it was time to get my first recreational side mount certification under my belt. During the
PADI IDC on
Malapascua which is about to start tomorrow, Johan is going to staff, just like during the recent IDC in Dauin, earlier this year. He has a Razor side mount harness and dived already a lot on it and now wanted to get certified.

That worked out fine, since I just received my teaching credentials for this specialty from PADI and was ready to give it a go myself. One thing lead to another and here we are on
Malapascua, teaching the recreational PADI side mount course to Johan over the last two days. We completed a confined open water with skills and had 3 open water dives with a repetition of more or less the same skills, spread out or partially repeated during the open water dives.

We had some good dives and this morning we went to Monad Shoal and spotted a handful of Thresher sharks. All very exciting stuff, the training, the new equipment set up and seeing the sharks, a great start of the day!
