Got up nice and early as my first day of diving today- Rae been out already trying to change her horse riding from tue for today so she could ride with people she meet last night- but there was no availablity.

I had breakfast chat to paul and mum 5 mins before i was getting picked up. Pick up was at 8.45am staight to padi dive centre- meet the four guys i was learning how to dive with - but 1 problem is they all have done it before, i never done it.

Watched a couple of dvd in the morning had a couple of questionnaires to fill out- gave us some wetsuits had to put two on as temp in water- also explained how they would show us how to set up all equitment up after lunch- the owner took me to the doctors to have a medical done- one of the rules out here in oz- have to have a medical done to beable to take part in any activity outhere- quiet good really- health and saftly first. This took part on me lunch hour- pretty lucky as i just caught rae before she got on a bus to go snokerling with people she meet last night- so i left the van keys at front desk after i had my lunch.

Back to padi- shown how to set up equitment- had to swim 12 lengths without wetsuit and tred water for 30mins pretty easy but the water was bloody frezzing- before i got the wet suit on i was already blue.

My first day with the breathing part didnt got down to well as i panic & i couldnt stop giggling. lady went through all the skills with the other people before me as they have done it before and they are on a rush course as leaving for a boat in 1 day. so they didnt have time to wait around for me, Finally got use to breathing but run out of time to show me anything else- got changed and watched another video. Finally returned back to rae bout 630pm - for dinner and a very very hot shower- had to wear 4 jumpers all night to warm up as soo cold, Rae cooked pasta while i was as way- so thats what we had for dinner- sounded like rae enjoyed her day .Went to bed
