Another early start at 06.45 (I am now very tired). After breakfast we walked back to the hotel o get pick up, before we got there a guy shouted out of his car window and asked us if we were going diving and to get in, I was very wary and only relaxed after he had mentioned our hotel and room number. A short drive then onto the boat where I was greeted like an old friend. Our first dive was down to 18m, the deeper we got , the worst the visibility got, at points it was down to a metre, making it very hard to keep contact with the others, even so it was still really cool.. Rob didn't equalise his mask so the pressure sucked his face in, leaving him with 2 very blood shot eyes, it actually looked like he had been smacked twice in the face. We spent an hour at the surface then stepped off the back of the boat again and went under the surface, this time to 14m. The second dive was much clearer and we got to see some pretty wicked fish and Deano challenged us to hover whilst hanging upside-down, a really weird sensation but pretty cool. Another cool thing was swimming through an underwater archway. To be honest I love scuba diving and I think it is going to become a very expensive hobby... Again lunch was provided on the island, where I also did the final test and became a qualified diver. Whilst I was doing the test the other 2 feel asleep in hammocks. We had to go to the dive bar in the evening to pick up my temporary card and logbook and get the dives signed off, we chatted to Deano for a while and he suggested heading to Cafe 43 for dinner, I'm really glad we did because it was possibly the nicest meal we have had so far and the staff were really friendly, even better was the price for beer, for $1 or 65p we got 1.8L of beer, not too shabby!
