Back again, not to worry

Hi everyone, its been a few days so apologies to those hanging on a knife edge for the next instalment!

Well I have been pretty busy I can tell you. I have managed a few more exams so I am really pleased. Physiology, Dive Skills and the Environment and Dive Equipment. I got scores of 95%, 90% and 75% respectively. Struggled a bit on Dive equipment because the exam still tests on J valves and transducers but they are not included in the encyclopedia anymore so just scraped a pass. But, as they say, a pass is a pass.

Last Saturday we dived at La Herradura, no sunshine was a first but hopefully not to be repeated situation. I assisted Antonio as we led a group of English guys from Sevilla round the dive site Tres Picos ( 3 Peaks ). Visability was good at around 10-15 metres and lots of varied life. I even spotted an Octopus under one of the overhangs.

Yesterday I took full advantage of Skysports with a football super sunday in my apartment!

Tomorrow it looks like we are back off to Gibraltar with 4 divers, 2 English and 2 Dutch. I quite like this site as there are loads of wrecks sunk purposely for an artificial reef project. I am thinking of using a couple for my Dive Site Mapping exercise I have to complete sometime soon.

Thursday we will be back to La Herraduras but the difference being is that it will be me leading. Think I shall be revising the map a few times over the next few days. I have heard that losing divers does not go down very well!

I will try not to leave it as long next time before my next update so stay tuned...
