Open water in Nkhata Bay

Inexpensive, safe, and so much fun.  That describes the 4 day Open Water Dive certification training I received on Lake Malawi in Nkhata Bay. One of the cheapest locations to obtain the certification, training from reliable and experienced divemasters from Canada and the UK, as well as being awesome overall.

So difficult to describe the sensation you feel as you glide 15m beneath the surface on the lake floor watching mouth breeders scoop up their young in their mouth, upside down fish literally swimming upside down, nest builders cleaning their mating/spawning nests, and the large variety of cichlids swimming by.

Can’t wait to take advantage of my certification by swimming with the manta rays and whale sharks in Tofo, Mozambique (fingers crossed). SE Asia and the Great Barrier Reef are musts as well.

Victory BBQ for completing the certification!
