First dive, we buddied up with Kati and had a lovely relaxed dive and we stumbled across a small net which was caugh up on some coral, so spent 10 mins or so at 22m deep, untangling it from the coral and amongst it was a baby moray eel. The image below shows what kind of devastion this kind of idiocy can do, and why we are so keen to scrap our fun dive and spend the time to clear up other people's mess.
Anyway, the rant over, we continued the dive.. No bull shark or whale shark unfortunately. Did see a few divers who were all over the place, knocking into coral which makes me so mad! WHAT IS IT WITH PEOPLE! I know that everyone starts somewhere, but to be able to dive this dive site you need good buoyancy as it is very deep in parts. So if you are at this dive site.. you should know what you are doing. Other dive schools are to blame, I saw no Crystal divers demonstrating such awful skill.
Second dive was much better, probably spotted 4 blue spotted rays, moray eel, couple of puffer fish, some juvenille butterfly fish and saw a trigger fish a couple of times which was hanging around a little too long for my liking. Kati did spot a scorpion fish sat next to a grouper but didnt tell us ...I've not seen one here before so was pretty gutted.
Back on land we washed our kit and tomorrow afternoon, depending on the amount students, we'll be starting our Team Teaching ..feel a little nervous but cant wait to get stuck in.
We're now back home ..Si's, yes you've guessed it ..WORKING for hours and hours ..and I've done some washing ;-)

A well deserved rant - I agree wholeheartedly with all that you are saying. Too much inadequate training. Some dive schools, I suspect, it's all about getting as many people in as possible to pay £££'s & $$$'s.....
So true bro... so true..
