27th November 2014

Hey guys...

Its busy at the moment..

Jen has been working pretty much non stop with small courses. I have been busy with video work, and self reliant diving.

A couple of days ago, I was on the last dives with a student, on the Self Reliant course (means you can dive on your own).

I jumped in from the boat, and the student and Steve (Crystal Images Manager) jumped in after.

30 seconds later the student started screaming and thrashing his arm around... I noticed tentacles flying around his head and directed him, quite sternly, to stay still. I looked under the water to see a Box Jellyfish swimming away with only 1 tentacle left on it.

We got the student up on the boat, removed the tentacles, and requested a boat to collect us from the dive site so we could get him to the clinic. Apart from the pain, which wore off a day later... he was fine.


In the meantime.... I have had the 5 days of Black & White challenge on Facebook... Here are the photos.....

Self reliant course? Can he really dive on his own if he's going to panic like that? Regarding the photos, you're cheating with the one of Jen which was definitely not taken this week..........!!
