Last dive

Not much has happened over the last few days. Mark went diving pretty much every day after we finished the course, sept not today. I was persuaded to go with him yesterday so that we could have some pictures of us diving together, so we bought a camera that works underwater. i did this so that i can show the rents underwater (seen as they cant do it now – so they better appreciate lol).

we went with Katana – a really cool mexican guy who is hilarious. at first he was telling me it was too windy to dive and i believed him…..but he was joking. the waves were pretty massive though so i was kinda worried. we got kitted up and off we went. i really wanted to see some turtles so he took usto the places where they are most often seen. we didnt see any though, gutted.

the dive was good, except the currents were strong so i didnt enjoy the dive very much. mark was left with the camera and coz i was always battling against the current i was too stressy to take many/any (:s) pictures of him. i feel really bad now though coz if anything there will be about 1 pic of him and loads of me. whoops. we saw a baracuda, i held a spider crab (it was a baby), a starfish, saw a mega big crab and Katana found us an eel under a rock. so we did see quite a bit. not sure how the pics will come out though. especially as the camera, of course, was an old one that you wind on and had to look through the viewfinder to take a pic, which is quite hard when you have a mask on lol.

after abut 30mins it was time to surface. i could tell that Katana wasnt sure of the way back to the boat, we just had to surface where we were. the current had taken us about 200/300metres from our boat. it was ok though, Katana simply signalled to the boatman that we needed picking up and over he came.

after that we were both completely zonked, so we just crashed in the room until about 8.30. both of us are pretty broke now too. not sure what we will do today as low on cash. probably just the beach again, top up that tan.

will update again soon, oh and i have some pics to put up…YAY! so you can actually see whats been going on. i will have to be selective though.

    Hi Kerri babe, just hanging on your every word and then there they were and pics too!!!! Great!!!!!! and so looking forward to the underwater pics which I guess Mark will be bringing back with him . . . where to get them developed will be a test?

    Becka just posted a comment about two hours since, under “Qualified open water diver” so she missed this update and the pics I’m afraid.

    Your bedroom still looks like a bombs hit it – maybe we’ll preserve it for your return!!??

    Topic: clothes washing. service: laundry. availability: Hotel. Yes this service should be available to you at a small price. Talking of which we hope you haven’t blown all your money, remember local payment for the tours mum says?

    Bye for now. lots of love Dad. Sunday teatime.
