I left at 06.20 to get to the dive shop at half past, when I arrived I was assigned my equipment and I met with my instructor Ty and Jasmine, a lady who was just starting her Divemaster course who was also diving with us. We waded out to a longtail and loaded the kit then transferred it all to the dive boat. We were the first boat to arrive at the dive site and our early start was rewarded with perfect visibility and 30 degree water, I have honestly had colder baths. The second site was much busier but even so the sealife wasn't scared off and we saw 3 blue spotted sting rays, I also saw a strange, unidentifiable creature, I guess it must have been rare as it wasn't in the fish guide. After rinsing and storing the kit I met up with Lorraine and Melanie and went to the beach. Early evening I went back to the dive centre to watch a video of the days diving that had been filmed by a photography student. It was a very good movie, almost of a professional quality. It was cool to hang out with the dive guys and I was given free beer and was easily accepted into the folds of the dive society. I think it is a life I could get used to, living in a hot country, getting paid to dive, certainly beats a desk job!
