1st August 2012

Well, the Beach Clean up was pretty successful with 8 or so DMT’s attending, collecting over 25 bags of rubbish but unfortunately the afternoon was a bit of a shambles. 

Crystal 1 broke down, something wrong with it’s fuel pump so we were unable to participate in the Dive site clean up.   Annoying but one of those things you cant do anything about.  We seem to be having loads of problems with the boats recently.  Im so not looking forward to full moon.  If Crystal 3 is the only functional boat when it’s busy, then it’s going to be a nightmare.   

Earlier this morning, Simon was scheduled for surface cover as he’s starting an Open Water course this afternoon.  I thought it’d be nice just to go along for the ride and keep him company & help out. To be honest i wish I’d stayed in bed.  The boat was rammed, it would have been a nightmare for Simon to take all the reg & mask numbers down, note the time different groups descended/ascended as well as coping with people crying & vomiting everywhere.   Trying to help people back up on the boat was the nightmare, with some big swells, people were grabbing the ladder, then plunging a couple of meters  ....Im surprised there weren’t any injuries.  Some people are so stupid and just don’t listen.

Thankfully Im now back on land and at home.  I cycled back from Crystal and had a good ole tidy up, so everything looks nice and clean.  Unfortunately we’ve not electric at the moment, so relying on the natural breeze to cool me down  ..doesnt seem to be working though ;-D

Tonight, is date night, I think/hope we’ll have a nice romantic evening
