After our first week of acclimatization in Bali, we visited the diving school. Mainly to get to know Julian. This is the owner of the diving school and until that point Dion had only had digital contact with him. He explained to Dion from A to Z how the organization works, that from now on he is part of the team, what is expected of him, what his courses will look like and what preparations he still had to make. Here we were also told that, because Dion is part of the team, he also works like the rest of the team. This means available 6 days a week! That was a bit of a shock for me, because I thought 5 days alone was a lot! But we also notice that they are not very difficult when Dion wants a day off. If we want to plan something fun, we can do so without problems.​

​

Dion also needed to be medically examined. That basically just meant that he had to go to the doctor for a health certificate. He had to fill out a questionnaire about his health, answer some questions, his blood pressure was measured and that was it. He could go through to the next round!

​

And yes, Neptune provides all the necessities, but there were still some parts that were missing from Dion's diving equipment. A normal diver like me doesn't need any of this. But a dive instructor Dion goes for needs accessories like a pointer, a whistle and buoy to signal the boat, and a horn to get attention both above and below the water. We bought this before Dion started his courses at a large dive shop not far from us.
