Up early to go diving again. With a lovely DM and a better group than yesterday although there was another guy who had just startd his DM training who was a real sci-fi geek who really thought he knew it all. I had to ask Caroline if they teach you patience in your DM as she is stuck with him for the net 3 weeks. I couldn't teach him. Went back to White Rock as there were two drop off sights but we sort of missed the first one as we all got talking. Turns ou...

Up at 6 to get ready to go diving. In a really nice group but there was one girl that got on my t***, kept kicking me as well as the coral and made a big spectacle about how she had dived in the Red Sea and how rubbish this was compared to there. Kept myself amused the next dive by seeing how many times I could get away with kicking her back. Diving at White Rock and Chumpton Pinnacle which was great but visibility was poor due to all the rain from the last f...

Nice chilled out morning and it looks like the rain is holding off for today. Packed and had some museli.

Diving in the next few days which will be good. Had a ...

Managed to spill a whole bottle of black nail varnish over the floor and bed sheets, knew that I shouldn' have brought the cheap bottle that doesn't screw together right. Brought nail varnish remover and bleech. Floor fine, sheets better but can still see drops. Hope they don't notice as I...

Didn't wake until 10. Did some washing and went to the beach. Massive storm in the afternoon but I think that it has been brewing for a few days, got soaked. After that all Internet lines were down and I didn't have a bed booked for the next night so all good fun and games for a few hours with travel agents. Thai boxing in the evening which was brilliant! Couldn't believe how many of the fights ended up in knock outs though. Also quiet a few of the rounds were w...
