Writing this again in the traditional McDonalds in down town Torremolinos, I have found a signal nearby where I live but it does mean a small drive to the reception area of the estate.
Some more good news, just when I thought that I would be coming home with an Irish accent (only english channel on TV was RTE 1!) I have had a fiddle with the tuning and found I have been missing out. I now have BBC1, ITV and all Skysports 1,2 and 3. Get in footie Sunday for me! Also found a few movie channels, not well known ones but none the less it makes a change from 'The Afternoon Show', Seioge and Fair City. You thought Emmerdale was bad just try sitting through Fair City. It is very pants.
Dived again in Gib yesterday with a newly certified Diver. She was a bit nervous but once the first dive was over she was much better on the second dive. Viz on the first was very bad due to some building work nearby disturbing all the sand on the bottom. It was a real struggle to in front of your face and it was very disorientating. The second dive however was much improved. Lots of sea life - Box lipped mullet, juvenile wrasse and I managed to find a great small octopus swimming past. I find them incredible creatures and so hard to find when they camoflague.
Pool skills tests today, good to get them out of the way and to practice them at the same time. I am also having to watch the Open Water training video so I can kind of memorise the training schedule and what skills I have to teach and in what order. The OW course is the bread and butter for diving trainers as it is the first rung of the diving ladder and where all divers start when they train with PADI.
Not long now until Amanda joins me for Easter week! I am trying to sort out which dives she would like most then she can come along and have a go in the lovely Med!
Ta ta for now, thanks again for following
Great update! Well done on the test results too! Certainly sounds as if you have to have the brain matter working out in the books these days.
