I’m advanced, me!
Saturday, August 2nd, 2008Apologies to all for the recent tardiness of my blogging, the reasons for which being twofold, firstly, we’re on a paradise island, there’s only so much I can annoy everyone by telling them I’ve been relaxing by a pool all day, and secondly, due to our relative stability, Lauren and I are using this as an opportunity to save some cash and therefore internet is a weekly option for me now.
Oh, and where exactly did the 1st of August come from?! Out of nowhere, thats where! Suddenly it’s days until my 23rd and our trip has already begun to near the 2 month stage, holy gucamoley batman, things go fast don’t they?
Enough blathering.
I began my advanced diving yesterday. It’s like the big brother to the diving course I completed a few weeks back. Although I sung her praises at the time (and still do) I am no longer being taught by Flavia of Adventure Diving. I don’t for one moment assume that anyone other than mine or Lauren’s family actually read this but just on the offchance that someone has ended up here while actually trying to download music/find hair regrowth cream/look for porn, I’d like to emphasise that for open water courses, Flavia is the way to go, she is much more patient and understanding of not being able to achive things instantly.
For advanced diving, though, go with Asia Divers. It has a much more comradery feel, as well as being much larger, and the absolute winner of all things is that yesterday at around 10 meters or so, we had finished our training and our instructor, a friendly ex-pat called Paul, wrote on his magical underwater slate-writing thingy ‘Kung Fu!’
We spent the next 10 minutes doing slow-motion matrix style kung fu moves while breathing underwater, it rocked!
Tonight I’m off on a night dive, which I’m only midly apprehensious (sp!) about. Tomorrow morning I’m going on my deep dive to 30 meters and another lesson which I won’t bore you with.
