You could have done perfectly well in your final exam; performed excellently during the training dives with your instructor and you are on cloud nine as you get yourself all dressed up to get certified. As expected your instructor is already at the bar chillin when he waved you over with a rather mischievous grin. With a can of Tiger beer in his stronger hand he held your certificate high up with his weaker one and the evening wind nearly stole your cert from the tip of his fingers. Just when you think you had done enough and gotten close enough to grab your award, your instructor refused to hand it to you and instead led you to a chair, made you sit and made you put your mask and snorkel back on again.
"YOU WANT YOUR CERT THEN YOU WILL HAVE TO EARN IT!" he announced.
"YOUR FINAL TEST: THE SNORKEL TEST!" he added gleefully.
From there you find yourself sucking in cold Tiger beer poured into your snorkel and since you can't breath through your nose with your mask on you could find this to be rather challenging and as seconds go by you might find it ridiculous but fun! Besides enjoying a free Tiger beer you would also appreciate the cheers from the crowd and the few seconds of fame & glory drinking in the limelight. "Excellent!" your instructor said before handing you your truly well deserved certificate...
Congrats to our new and awesome divers: Timothy, Jim, Jacob, Sandra and Bjorn!

Super Sandra!

Bravo Bjorn!

Tim did it like a pro!

Jim would rather have whiskey rather than beer I guess...

Jacob the man!

A briefing before the test. Kiet showing a good example.

Naz pleaded hard to get her turn. Hehe
