Day 2

Its easy when you know how. Day 2 today and it was spent going through the divemaster manual. Remember I was having trouble with ´halftimes´well I had it explained by Simon today and it is all starting to make sense.

This is my first post since I started properly at Simply Diving here in Torremolinos. Yesterday was all about meeting Simon the owner/instructor and getting aquainted with the shop and various do´s and don´ts. You might have to excuse my typing, this is a spainsh keyboard and just starting to find where some of the keys haev moved to.

Really great operation which comes across as really well run and professional. I think I have made a good choice and I am looking forward to getting in the water. I believe we are going to try a new dive site tomorrow - wreck diving.

Managed to find a few good supermarkets yesterday as well, which means I am now starting to eat properly. Last nights gourmet meal - salad with blue cheese dressing and four cheese pasta with a sprinkle of emmental. All washed down with a couple of cerveza and some 1€ Dom Simon vino tintos. Lingo is going slowly but as you can see the important stuff is sinking in - namely beer!

Missing Amanda terribly but it is now less than a month until she comes out to join me. Hopefully she will get a chance to dive with me and can grade me on how I am doing.

Sun is just starting to come out which is needed as it can have a bit of a chill without it it. Not UK chilly but still might need a small cardy!

Back to the books for me now so catch up soon.
