Knackering...

Hi all, well good news as another element to the Divemaster training program has been passed! It was not easy and my legs are like jelly and really ache. What where these tests? I hear you ask. Well here goes.

400 metre swin
800 metre swin with fins, mask, snorkel and face in water
15 minute treading water with last 2 minutes hands out of the water
100 metre tired diver tow.

This was all performed just off Torremolinos beach with waves and a strong longshore current. Tiring just does not cover it. Oh I also forgot to mention that thuis was timed and it had to be done within certain time frames with points awarded. Yu had to get a total of 12 points and I scroed 16 so I was really pleased.

Today we took some divers to Marina Del Este and it was really flat, viz is still questionable but getting better with every day. The temperature is also gong in the right direction with the water being about 15-16 degrees and the air temperature is about 23 degrees. Lovely.

At the moment I am also trying to help out and get a contact for Delta Airlines to see if we can sell diving to the Americans. They have a 5 a week service from JFK so it could be a bit of good business.

Just counting down the days now until Amanda joins me out here for Easter, a week is not long enough but it will be great!

Ta ta for now...

  1. Congratulations!! Well done, I know it was probably one of the hardest aspects of the course. Good luck with the Delta Airlines thingy... if anyone can do that, you can!
    The weather sounds great and going the right way!
    Starting the countdown for Amanda's trip!
