After haven gotten my PADI Open Water in February 2023, I have finally completed my first logged dive as a true diver. As it was the same location where I did my course (and with the same dive guide), I was familiar with the dive site. This was perfect to get back into it, but unlike during my course we saw a seahorse this time! It was perfectly hidden between pieces of seaweed and if it weren't for the guides, I'm sure I never would've spotted it.

Unfortunately, visibility wasn't great which made me finally truly comprehend how easy it is to get disoriented underwater. Still, all went really well and I was rewarded with yet another amazing dive experience!
