Up bright an early at half 7 (the earliest we've been up in a while- yawn) as scuba school started at 9am! We grabbed a delicious croissant from a local bakery and made our way up to Roctopus! We were greeted by our dive instructor, big dave, and his assistant Karl, honestly couldn't have asked for better instructors! The morning consisted of going over our homework previously set the night before, which we all got a solid 100%, so knowledgable. Then to find out ...

Very excited to be starting our scuba school open water diving today, we woke up early!

Georgie and charlottes had spotted a ice cream shop along the Main Street, so a few of us decided to gra...
