1st dive of 2009 with Kontiki Diving Club

Tuesday January 20th, our first dive in 2009. We were invited by Kontiki Diving Club in Zuidbroek to have a dive in the swimming pool of Van der Valk Hotel. See pictures of our dive below. We practiced some diving skills and underwater balancing. We had a total of rough an hour below the water and we really enjoyed it.
