, in a group of six. see above, we have wolfgang (my buddy, can yuo guess where he is from !!!) laura, hannah, roel, margreet (this is spelt right) , and me.
SO did a very little bit of theory today, just about bouyancy (hope that is spelt right, yes this does have a spell check, but it donly tells me if it is wrong not how to spell it, fat lot of good that is, when you have a retard like me typing)
So went and did 3 dives today, a bouyancy peak performance, navigation and night dive. Wow i only use 1.6KG now, i was using 4kg, and it is so much easier to dive, so much easier.
I can stay just off the seabed now with easy. Did a few tricks to practise like going between legs, hovering vertical instead of sitting posisition. then went for a swim, only thinig different this time was we saw a sea snake, that was pretty cool to watch. just like on land really but it was nice, honest !!!.
as i said then did a navigation which was ok, nothing special, use a compass go here go there, do a square, well i say it was easy but we did actually loose 2 people, roel and margreet. Anyway we carried on, and did some more nav, then it was down to wolfgang and me to go off on our own. thought it would be a little scarey without a instructer close by, but i much prefered it, not sure why.
So much for mum and dad telling me you will always have an dive master or instructer with you. Well i didn't !!!!!
Then got back had some food, and on to a night dive. Well i was expecting the night dive to be good. but to be honest there was not alot there, we did see 2 blue spotted stingrays out and about, which was cool to see. and 1 puffer fish, everything else i saw you can see in the day and at night they are asleep.

The instructor (canada, ex navy seal, better not take the piss then !!!) said it wasn't a good spot, the place he wanted to take us was to wavey and no boat would of goen there, shame.

Hi Aquaboy
Well they wouldn't give you a divemaster or instructor when you're doing your navigation dive, the idea is to be able to find your own way back. Doh!!!!
We mean on normal dives you will always have a guide with you....aquatwit.
Dad's jealous of the 5 sharks cos he's only seen 1 Leopard Shark, but it was 8ft. How big is yours!!!!!
