We were up at 6am had breakfast (i made muesli and held it in front of Lees face so he'd wake up) then we headed to Master Dive for our first shallow water lesson. We checked, then packed our equipment, then got on the boat. The tank is quite heavy! We got taught the correct way to get in the water then snorkelled towards the shore. The water was stunning, so clear. We were taught how to take our mask off and breath with your mouth only under water (that sounds so much easier than it is), how to put your mask back on under water and get the water out, how to get water out of your regulator (air piece).... We did a little scuba diving then headed back to the boat. We had a lunch time break to shower and eat. Lee got his dog bite wounds cleaned by Sim whilst i showered then we went back to the classroom for our afternoon lesson and tests.
I'm not going to lie I was a nervous wreck. Lee was loving it and wasn't scared at all. The first part of the lessons are what to do if.... When we got back to the room I literally fell asleep straight after the shower about 7-8pm! Lee stayed up nursing his feet. He is so unlucky when it comes to cuts on this trip. The fins had caused blisters on his toes and feet!
