Well if I didn’t want to dive so badly and give my son his first diving experience we would have just turned around when we got to the place.
None was as expected.
Instead of starting at 8 as the program says we got picked up at 9. Then drove in a beat up van and from there walked to a shack on a shore. From there on the reality set really in. We got offered one 20min dive from the shore in a shallow murky water next to Side. All went ok even if I was worried about the instructor having a leaking valve and us not having a marker buoy while diving near where boats went.
We finished the dive and instructors were nice despite the unexpected situation.
No lunch, no second dive, no boat. Saw one fish and plenty of brown rocks. One star because my son didn’t end up hating diving after this.
