Yasminne Cheng got her Advanced Open Water Diver Certification

"1 year on…Completed my Advanced Open Water Dive certification over the weekend....Yay me!," wrote the the Class 95 jock.

Yasminne added: "Learning in Singapore waters at Pulau Hantu is really the best way to go because the water is so rubbish with such bad visibility that it's easier to focus on the skills you need to acquire instead of a sensory overload plus because you've trained in pretty "tough" conditions, night dives aren't as scary and anywhere else you go to dive will be awesome!"

What an interesting way to look at things right?
