So saturday morning came around, me and nathan set out early to have his pre match day breakfast, a very nice croque moinsure to start the day, then a fair little drive to Wagga Wagga, the venue for the matches. There for very little time for preparation before my first game with teh 3rds, i was worried this would bring about injury so right up until i was on the pitch and even after on the pitch i was stretching everything thoroughly.

Wow what another day, some more wicked experince. So today i was preparing myself for the deep dive. Not quite such an early start and before i knew it, it was time to leave for the dive centre. To start with was going over the theory for deep diving, it was starting to sink in that deep diving if not done properly can actually be pretty dangerous, not that it was going to be a problem today.
