My name is Nurzawirah binti Abdulawi. Born in Kota Kinabalu, Sabah, East Malaysia. Date of birth is April 25th, 1983. My hobbies are, swimming, basketball, football, reads, browsing the net, writing, taking photos, etc. I wish i could surf the sea, but the wave or the beach here in Malaysia,i think is not suitable to do any surfing activities. But i do heard one place, Tioman Island. I think....
Anyway, I love outdoors activities. Loads of things i wish to do. For example, bungee jumping, rafting, sky dive, sand surfing, sea surf is included and stuff like that. But one thing i have found fun and in love doing it is Scuba Diving. Dive into the open sea is indescribable.
I started diving, in 2003. At 1st, it was just a dare tryouts. I decided to go out diving because,every time i went to college in the morning, i always set next to the window and look out to the sea. From that moment, i really wanted to dare myself to do things out of the box and i thought what could it be like to see the underwater life... and has turned to be breathtaking and wonderful. That was my 1st love of the sea.
So, i have PADI Open Water Scuba Diver licence. People said to me, once you have started diving, you could be addicted to it. Well, they were right.
The reason is obvious, addicted to get to know more what is to be found underwater. Sea, as we all know, covers 70% of the earth. So, there is more to be discovered. And i thought, why waste...
A few months later, i took Advanced Scuba Diver licence. It does not take long to be a certified Advanced Open Water Diver. Just 2 days.
More then hundred dives done, i later took Rescue Diver licence to enhance my skills. All under Borneo Divers. They were great. Rescue Diver licence is fun to learn. Tired too, but worth learning. Nothing more or less for beginners. Highly recommended to everybody!
I was still busy studying, in Diploma Tourism Management, I took a break for several months to dive.
Later, in August 2005, i just could not wait to get back into my wet suits and definitely the sea.
Went to Sabah Divers, filled up for Divemaster Certification form. Could not be happier!!! Mark Hazell was my Instructor. As far that i know, he is the best Instructor. I was a trainee for 6 months for that reason with Sabah Divers.
Experience that i have gained while i was working with my seniors, will never be forgotten and hopefully i apply all the right skills underwater.
