Looking around

Dog living the island life.

It rained heavily today. In my search to find my instructor, I met Peter - a staff instructor at the diving part of the resort (Asia Divers). He’s a nice guy from Australia I think. Eventually, I found my instructor - Warren Dixon - who is a PADI Course Director and the manager at Asia Divers.

Delicious Korean food at Club Mabuhay.

For lunch, I went to Korean owned Club Mabuhay Resort; the resort I stayed in a year prior which is next door to El Galleon. I was craving Korean food, and I remembered this place had good Korean food. I feasted on all the small Korean appetizers and a dish of bulgogi beef. It was delicious. I think the last time I had Korean food was back in the US.

My study area in my "living room".

Afterwards, I went to El Galleon which has a nice bar. There I met Lee, a Taiwanese guy who was recently certified as a PADI Instructor. After a few drinks, I just went home to study. There I read a lot about dive theory. Oh fun. Later, I went back to El Galleon and dropped in on their main bar, called the “Point”.

At the Point, I met Allen, Peter, Mazi (Iranian), Dave, Daabi, and a few others. Allen, one of the owners of El Galleon, bought me a beer upon arrival. I mainly stopped just to check out the place but ended up drinking 4 beers, and for shots which were all bought by other people.

Sleep.
