Update: Scuba Diving!

Hey everyone!

I had my first diving theory session last Wednesday, where we went over the vast amount of homework given to us the week before, and finished off by doing tests to ensure we know what we need to do when underwater!

I have homework to do for this Wednesday, where I'm reading chapters from the Divers Manual and watching sections of a DVD which, gives us a visual representation of the book chapters!

I hope to pass the upcoming tests as they're beneficial to my future as a diver!

Scuba Diving!!!

Hey,
I start my first scuba-diving session tomorrow! Well it's just sitting in a classroom for 2 hours and making notes for now, but I'm sure it'll be fun!
I have these sessions every Wednesday from next week, for a few weeks and then I start my ACTUAL pool scuba-diving sessions from 8-10pm at some point after that, for 2-3 hours, for 3 weeks!

I'll get my PADI certificate etc and I'll be a qualified diver for the rest of that year!

I'M BACK!

Hey,

I'm back from my stay at the Cayman Islands, sorry about the no posts, I managed to break my phone!

I'd have used other phones etc to update, but my 4 cousins kept me active and occupied every second of each day!

I'll just say that the temperature was fine, but mosquitoes are awful. A single 100ft walk, at night, outside and you're itching due to the insanely large amount of bites!

Other than that, the trip was fun, and my Auntie is doing well. 

Update: Tomorrow!

Hey everyone,

I'm starting my 2 day trip to the Cayman Islands tomorrow!

I'm wondering how I'll cope with the time difference, because I'll end up waking up at about 4am over there when it's 9am here in the UK!

I'll keep you posted!

Update: Over Christmas....

Hey everyone,

I'm going to see my family in the Cayman Islands over Christmas and New Year, due to illnesses to my Auntie.

Despite the worrying news, the trip will help me understand how the difference in time (5/6 hours) will be like, and how it'll have an effect on my body, as well as how I'll get used to the heat.

Whilst I'm there, my Uncle might so some diving with me so that'll help massively!

I'll do my best to keep posting whilst I'm over there!

Update: Scubadiving?

Hey, 

A few friends and I were looking up diving courses so we can get our scubadiving documentation, meaning we can simply get straight in with the work, rather than doing the classes there and being restricted to certain activities, but it turns out, my school are making everyone do their scubadiving qualification in March time! 

It's an extra £200 on top of the trip cost, but it'll definitely be worth it, as we'll all be able to jump straight in with coral ecology etc.

I look forward to it!

Thank You TWLOHA!!

Hey guys,

So I finally got my shirts from TWLOHA (To Write Love On Her Arms) and they're great! They're the right colour for the rainforest (decent camouflage) and they're a good fit! 

Here they are:
