Padi Open Water Diver

Well, I'm a diver! I completed the Padi Open Water diver's course today and will pick up my certificate tomorrow. I'm under no illusions as to my diving ability as it is a very basic level but it's still nice to have done it. I wasn't able to take the camera on the training dives as I had too much else to concentrate on but LB went snorkelling while I was stuck in the classroom doing my final exam. He took some nice fishy photos. The stripey one is a tiger cardinal and the spotty one is a white spotted puffer fish, they're the ones that puff up into a ball when scared .

There are three things I have always wanted to do:
1) ride a motorbike (accomplished)
2) learn to dive ( well actually I wanted to be Jacques Cousteau but that's another story)
3) learn to sail
So if I see pictures of you in a 40 foot yacht ( or even a mirror dinghy) I will cry!

Enjoy the rest of your hols.

Good idea to do it in such a fabulous location.
Still number 2 to go for me but my scuba role model was Hans Hass.(that ages me)

Can LB get a pic of you in your SCUBA gear?

Anne you're in the right place to learn to sail so no excuses. As for learning to dive, it's not that difficult. It takes 4-5 days although you can do it in two stages as I did. I don't fancy it at home though, too cold and not enough fish. Tropical reefs are definately the place to be!
