Subject: Post: First diving day over, practical lessons were not that difficult either. First we learnt the basic skills in shallow water, then did a bit deeper dives. Getting used to the scuba gear took a moment, but just after a while we were pretty comfortable with everything.Diving is surprisingly tiring, we slept a couple of hours after coming back to the hostel and still felt slightly tired. Well, neither of us is such a sports fanatic back in Finland.. This vacation is going to do good to our physical shape, diving and walking every day like 10-20 kilometers. :)Labuan Backpackers seems to be a great place to stay, just as recommended by Karlis. Most of the greatness is made by the owner himself, Uncle Jack. He actually lives in our dorm room, and seems to be a really relaxed and nice guy, age something like 40-50 and no idea of nationality. Have to ask him.. The only thing I'm slightly missing is warm shower, but in these weather conditions cold shower works just fine. Actually I also miss a decent network connection with speed more than 64Kbps, but that is the same everywhere around here.. Latitude: Longitude: Security Code:
