We were both up and dressed by 6.20am. What a ridiculous time in the morning especially when it's still pretty dark outside. The only bonus is that it's pretty cool and there aren't any mossies around.
We'd volunteered ourselves to assist with Tina's 'Advanced Open Water group as thre were a few issues and 'Team China' who are infact, you've guessed it, Chinese, dont speak English and got lost on a dive yesterday.5 of the 6 students were wanted to do 'Underwater Naturalist' as one of their Adventure dives and one chap wanted to do DPV (Diving Propulsion Vehicle) ..so logistically it was impossible for her to accomplish this in 2 dives with all of her students ..so jammy Si took the chap for a play on the DPV while I stayed to help look after and buddied one of the other chaps on their navigation.
Today the visibility was good ..on their deep dive (30mtrs) you could just about see the boat on the surface. There was an abundance of fish, Triggers, barracuda, butterfly, huge scools of damsel fish, huge groupers, moray eels ...it only lasted 30 mins though ...must have been the excitement of going 'DEEP'
We then zoomed off to 'Dirty Nelly's' to have dinner with Scott and watch the students video, after which we had to meet regarding the Rocky Horror Picture Show dance next month. We arranged stuff that we need to do this week (design graphics, buy clothes etc), before shooting off from the meeting to go to Thai Boxing.
We arrived at the boxing pretty late and only saw 4 matches. Only a couple of them were good. The final match got stopped very quickly and we didn't know why. When we asked a local, they said that it was because one of the fighters wasn't fighting enough so the ref gave the victory to the other guy. Very strange.
After this we went down to Vibe Bar to have a drink with Alan and Heidi, and eventually got home at 1am.
Busy busy night....

I've always wanted to have a go on a DPV....How did the experience go?
By the way with regard to Rocky Horror - are we going to see Simon in sussies or Jen? I know which I'd prefer ;)
Jen is going to be starring as the character... MAGENTA... she dresses in a maid uniform.. I wonder if we can take the costume home ;-)
The DPV was good... although showing the student how to use it... with me holding it the wrong way round, pressing the button and ramming it into my chest was not good leadership... but funny!
Yes - was anyone filming? I'd like to see that!
dah, whats DPV I should know, but I am having a senior moment xx
Diver Propulsion Vehicle mum... that was the picture of the orange thing... and no-one was filming (thankfully)
