24th January 2012

While Jen and I had 2 days off, we needed to catching up on simple chores that we didn't have time to do... such as washing, shopping, sleeping!!!

Jen started 1 of her students on the advanced course yesterday, and I tagged along for the ride just for the pleasure of diving without having anyone to be responsible for. It was a welcome change. We were also joined by Johannes, a divemaster who hails from Holland. I mention Johannes because it was the 1st anniversary of his father's death and he was quite pensive understandably. But what a great way to have a peaceful, reflective day by doing a couple of chilled dives.

1st dive was Aow Leuk, a bay on the South East of the island. Surprising good visibilty and the student accomplished the Navigation dive fine.

2nd dive was Tanote Bay, a little bit North of the previous site. While visibilty was not so good, the student completed her Peak Performance Buoyancy skills, and then we went for a little bubble... and found 3 beautiful flatworms.. like these:


Then, time to head back to the port, where we hung around until it was time for night diving... I tagged along yet again so that I could try out a UV torch that I brought from the UK... it was AMAZING... like being at a full moon party but underwater... All the corals and rocks become glow-in-the-dark...! What a funky way to dive... and now everyone wants to borrow our torches!!

To bed for an early night after a quick bite to eat... cos Jenny is up for early deep dives....
