Attending A Scuba Course Part Two - Kotok Island

As part of our scuba diving course we had to complete four open water dives. So after the two days in the pool and learning all about scuba diving we headed out to Kotok Island which is located about a one and a half hour speed boat trip from Jakarta and a part of the Thousand Islands (Pulau Seribu).

It was a rough trip out, due to being a bit choppy. We found Kotok Island very nice and quiet. The huts were basic but that's all we needed. On the Saturday we did two dives and on the Sunday we did another two dives and passed our course with flying colours. We met some wonderful people who all had been diving for a while.

Seeing the underwater world in a new light was very interesting we where really glad we were able to complete our first scuba coarse in time before we left Jakarta.
