Today was the day of my scuba diving. Started at 9.30am we spent the first few hours at the pool learning basic skills such as clearing your mask etc. After this we made our way to Julien rocks, which took about 5minutes on very choppy water which made for a fun trip. When everyone was in the water we took hold of a line that took us to the bottom while equalising on the way down. The deepest our watch told us we were was 7.8m at a temperature of 21. For the first few minutes I was breathing quite heavily and the idea that I couldn't just pop to the surface for air was quite daunting. But when we started moving around looking at the fish I stopped thinking about my breathing and I was fine. Highlight was seeing a massive bull ray sitting on the sea bed. (Approx 4 foot across). 35 minute dive felt like 15 minutes and we made our way back up. Boat picked us up and we made our way back to shore. Really enjoyable first experience scuba diving.
