Divemaster Snorkle Test





This is the final Divemaster test (that we shall be subjected to in about 6 weeks).

First the trainee has to wear a modified snorkle and mask.

Next the snorkle is filled with a secret alcoholic concoction which from all accounts is pretty terrible. Then once all the liquid has been consumed, they spin around 10 times and dash into the sea and back. The first one back is the winner.!

After their passing out ceremony, we went to an Aussie bar, whereupon more beer was consumed and generally a good time had by all. I made it (just) to midnight before having to retire as we had a meeting booked to discuss our Divemaster Trainee course. This course lasts about 6 weeks before we eventually move on to Dive Instructor courses. More details regarding the course will follow over the coming weeks.

Anyway, back to Reef Check Diver homework before Physics lecture tomorrow morning!! AHHHHH!!!

Hi guys, sounds like your having a good time. Sorry I haven't posted much, I've been on nights and pretty knackered.

I'm off at the weekend, so hopefully we can catch up on Skype. Take care.

Love Roy, Tracy, Emily and Thomas.

Finally caught up with all the postings, slowed up by being snowed in at Sanderstead after getting back from Austria. Couldn't go to work for two days and made the journey back to Kent early this morning to get the car MOT'd. Sounds like a hard working time at the moment and glad it all seems fun for you two as well. Love the posts and will be hoping that they don't slow up too much over the months. You'll need 6 months when you come back to do all the editing I expect. Haven't noticed you around on Skype yet but spoke to Martin earlier today (thinking it might be you online with your work name) and all seems to be good with him. Luv and kisses...... xx

Hey Guys

Love the blog and films! Looks like you’re having an amazing time.

This reminds me I’ve not drunk beer through my snorkel in far too long!

Any sign of any big spotties yet!?

Loads of love
