My Medical Adventure
Guess what i am a qualified scuba diver, Yeah !!! I ahve spent the last three days diving, reading a whole text book and doing exams. It has been worth it though. Diving is soo cool!! The first few days were spent completing skills, some of which I found really scarey. For example one of the skills was to take your mask off under water breathe for 1min then replace and clear you mask. I hate water going up my nose and panicked yesterday, 10m down, I grabbed my nose, shut my eyes and wouldn't let go. my instructor was really calming and yes I survived. Today I was made to do it again until I mastered it. The trick was to keep saying in my head "breathe through your mouth, breathe through your mouth"
Our final dive today was off a boat in 'Sting Ray Alley' We had to do that whole backward off a boat thing which was quite cool. We went to 18m and saw loads of amazing tropical fish, 3 moray eels, one 2m long, and sting ray. It was soo beautiful. I got lost in my own little world, you forget all that is going on around you, you forget all your worries and realise how insignificant you are in the world.
We are already planning our next dives in Tonga and Thailand, I can't wait.
Off to 'The Shade' tonight, the palce to be in Tobago, to celebrate. I am going armed with mozzi repelant though as it is an open air club and the mozzi's just love foreign blood.
