Scuba Diving - Trip Day 13

Breakfast today was chocolate cheerios, a lecture on mangroves and seagrass, then theory classes for our dive theory test. Our final hotel pool session which for me started with an incident which was pretty funny and just something I would do. I started to dive into the water without putting the regulator in my mouth which since 2 days ago it being weird to breathe underwater, I am no comfortable to think I can breathe without one! I choked. It was funny but luckily only Steve and Analie knew it happened so I wasn't too embarrassed.

Nachos and salsa with cheese flatbreads for lunch, then onto dive 3 in the open water. This one was at motorcycle reef (I've added a map so you can see where these places I'm talking about are.) and funnily enough, there is an actual motorcycle at the bottom!


We saw a blue parrotfish, another ray, a lobster and a trumpet fish. It was so cool and this time my ears weren't so bad with descending and I managed to get to the bottom easier and faster. Alex is awesome. Every time we see each other (not just when we are diving together but around town) he goes 'Hey Katie, My Buddy!' in his Italian bad man accent.  (That's Alex below)

We did some exercises at the surface then boarded the boat. This driver was different to the one we had before but it was ok because this one was a fast driver and that made it more enjoyable. It was great. We unloaded and disassembled our equipment and marked of our log books.

I had a shower in one of the outer showers today not the one in our room. Mainly because there were 8 of us trying to use the one shower. It was lovely. I had a relaxing time ready up on the Padi information ahead of our test. Dinner was mac 'n' cheese with garlic bread and another lecture on how to survey a coral reef then I went to bed by 8. I was so tired. I never thought I would willingly go to bed that early!

Toodles for now.
