It rained quite hard in the morning today and I didn’t want to drive in the rain but had to meet up in Alona Beach at 9 AM for an Emergency First Response (EFR) class. I had to refresh my CPR/EFR training for the PADI Instructor course I was enrolled in. Sara was in my class and Eric taught it via Genesis Divers. Surprisingly, CPR techniques have changed within the last couple years so it was good to get a refresh. The class was fun, Eric was very knowledgeable, and it was shorter than both Sara and I thought - we thought it was a two day course but we finished at 4 PM.
Yoeri, a Swiss videographer on the island, texted me to invite me to his house (next door to my house) for a party in the evening. Sara, her friend Mike, and I went to the party. At the party we ate lechon (bbq pig), salad, and various other things. Most of the people at the party were European expats living in the Philippines. Yoeri talked with me suggesting I purchase a video camera with housing and go out with him filming people’s dives. Its very tempting, but I don’t have a lot of experience filming underwater nor do I want to spend more money after just paying for my instructor course. He encouraged me to finish my instructor course and see what happens afterwards. Its very encouraging having a multimedia based option.
