Rescue Divers!!
We we have done it, we are now certified Rescue Divers!! Thankfully we will now have sometime before the Dive Master course starts, no more late night studying. For now we will be just doing fun dives, helping out the instructors a little (more for familiarity than being graded) and just enjoying our time here. We have moved to a new bungalow, it is a bit quieter but I sure miss the AC last night was hot! Oh well thankfully our shower is freezing, yeah no hot water, so it keeps us cool. Yesterday we did a bit of shopping, mozzie spray, towels, etc. Just to feel a little more comfortable. Today is a big day, cause Maryanne is letting us get Dive Computers, which tell us all sorts of cool stuff about our time, depth, ascent rate, saftey stop and such. Mostly since we are saving so much money on accomidations, okay plus it isn’t mandatory, but highly recommended to get one for the course. So needless to say a new gadget, I am so excited!! This afternoon we have some skills to day, 400m swim, 1000m swim with fins, 100m towing someone and treading water for 15min. I think I will need a $2 Filet Mignon when this is all done. Just might be too tired for the fun dive afterwards, but then again we are going to Japenese Gardens Dive site, which I really like. So it should be a great afternoon. We have been doing the course with a very nice couple, so it has made for another nice course. Although everyone we meet has been fantastic, what a great interesting group of people. We did go to a pub yesterday for lunch, mostly cause Maryanne saw a sign for Yorkshire pudding!! She ended up having Toad in a Hole, for you Americans reading it is sauguage cooked into yorkshire pudding. It comes with mash potates and a rich gravy, very good! Anyway the point of the story was that there was this american guy there, wow what an ass! No wonder why most foriegners don’t like us. Loud, obnoxious and full of himself, thankfully not all Americans who travel are like this but he wasn’t being a good ambassador for our country. Such a shame really. Anyway got to go get a dive watch :)!!
