Woohoo!<\/p>\n
Well THAT was an awesome<\/i> few days. I’ll go on about it in more depth tomorrow by for now let’s just say this: the weather was lovely, the surface was calm, the underwater visibility was over 30 metres<\/i> * in some sites.<\/p>\n
I saw sea turtles, reef sharks, lots of sea cucumbers, barracudas, nudibranch, clown fish (or “Nemos” as they appear to be called around these parts)… and more.<\/p>\n
I also dove to 30 metres and did a night dive… alongside a dive where I took various photos (no idea if they’re any good yet – not checked the CD) and as such I’m now not just a PADI Certified Open Water Diver, but a PADI Certified Adventure Diver too.<\/p>\n
This means I can dive independently ** anywhere I want in up to 30 metre depths – which opens a LOT up to me (Open Water gets you 18 metres…).<\/p>\n
Woohoo!<\/p>\n
More tomorrow :-)<\/p>\n
Toodles,<\/p>\n
