I completed my final 2 dives today (deep dive & underwater photography) so am now officially certified as PADI Advanced Open Water Diver! Getting five dives in over a couple of days was great experience and I feel a lot more comfortable down there. The sites we dove today were amazing, but with very strong current so it was a good challenge. There are local twins who have both been certified Rescue Divers and each dove with me over the past couple days. They're hardworking and are happy to please so you know you're in good hands when they're on your dive. Hopefully I can get a copy of some of the photos to share.

Well, down to our last full day here tomorrow - we leave just after breakfast on Thurs. We have our last day 'must-do' things planned so I will post tomorrow what they were.

The staff at the clubhouse are going to miss Colin, as they all know him now as the guy who orders two of everything! Six scrambled eggs for breakfast, double chicken, two Coke zeros... :). There's one young girl who's absolutely sweet - at dinner she always makes a point of asking Colin if he would like more of whatever the protein dish is - tonight it was tamarind curry chicken with heart of banana tree. They also served fried fish, sweet and sour shrimp, stir-fry vegetables (and rice!). Dessert was oranges and longan fruit, which I've never had before but was delicious!!
