📝 Under the Surface: My Scuba Adventure in Clearwater Bay

#hkwatersports Most of my water adventures happen above the surface, but this time, I decided to explore what’s underneath — so I signed up for a scuba diving discovery course in Clearwater Bay. Turns out, the ocean floor is like a whole new world. 🌊✨ ⸻ 📍 Getting There • Took the MTR to Po Lam Station • From there, hopped on green minibus 103 to Clearwater Bay Second Beach • A short walk led to the dive centre right by the shore ⏱️ Travel time: ~50–60 mins from Central 💰 Transport cost: ~HK$25 ⸻ 💸 Price & Course Details I booked a Discover Scuba Diving session with a PADI-certified dive centre. 💰 Price: HK$1,200 per person • Includes full gear (wetsuit, tank, mask, fins), instructor, and insurance • Session length: ~3 hours (1 hour briefing & practice, 2 dives) ⸻ 🐠 The Experience On Land: The instructor patiently explained the gear, safety signals, and how to breathe underwater (yes, it’s weird at first). In the Water: We started in shallow water to practice — clearing the mask, equalising pressure, and getting used to the regulator. Once we swam deeper, I felt like I’d stepped into an aquarium. Schools of silvery fish darted past, soft corals swayed gently, and I even spotted a shy pufferfish hiding near some rocks. The silence underwater was magical — just the sound of my own bubbles. It was calm, slow, and strangely meditative. ⸻ ⚠️ Tips for First-Timers • Don’t rush — relax your breathing • Equalise early and often to avoid ear discomfort • Bring a towel and warm clothes for after the dive • Eat light before diving (trust me) ⸻ ⭐ Final Thoughts Scuba diving in Clearwater Bay gave me a glimpse into Hong Kong’s hidden underwater beauty. It’s not just for tropical islands — right here, the marine life is surprisingly rich and the experience unforgettable. Next time, I’m thinking of getting fully certified so I can dive deeper and longer. 🤿💙
