An early start for me at 06.45, again I left the other 2 in bed (they eventually got up just before 10 and went fishing). At 8 I was picked up outside the hotel then driven to the small dock, stopping a couple of times on the way to pick up others. We got straight onto the boat for our hour long trip to the Cham Islands, our dive sites for the day. Deano and I weren't diving alone, we were with a french couple who were doing a discovery dive (a scuba dive but they haven't had any training). They had done one before but the wife was getting really panicky and claiming she couldn't breathe properly so she got out, so it was just the 3 of us.It was a really good dive, down to 11.7m, we didn't see anything spectacular but we did see loads of awesome coral and hundreds of different types of fish, including a lion fish which looks pretty cool. After an hour at the surface we went under the water again and this time we went down to 14m, again it was truly spectacular, although the visibility could have been better. Lunch was on one of the islands and it was a big buffet style meal including fresh fish. We then had a short amount of time on the beach before our journey back. I eventually got back to the hotel and met the other guys and we headed to the tailors to pick up our suits. Fortunately my sleeves had been lengthened so they now fitted perfectly. It also only cost $30 each to fly them back to the UK including recorded delivery. After our dinner we went to the dive bar, for the 3rd evening in a row, mainly just for the pool table. Slowly we are getting better/luckier. Tomorrow Rob and George dive with Deano and I.
