So today was a bit mad,
Dive brief began at 8.30 so we were up super sharp? Breakfast of fruit, yoghurt and pancake consumed with haste before trying to slip in to a boiling hot latex rubber wetsuit. Remembering once a wise person told me I would be more slippery when wet a quick shower solved the problem!
So wetsuit on, Jaws theme running through my head we enter the water. That creepy dread begins to fill me as I realise once again my life is solely dependant on this tank if air attached to my back as I pass 18.5m. There is no quick way of escape now if something goes wrong!
Right you idiot calm thoughts you are gulping down your oxygen and will have to surface!
The underwater dream begins! Accompanied only by the sound of my own breath I turn and come face to face with a wall of endless blue. There is an eerie stillness as it envelopes you. I slowly turn to be greater by the fluorescent and mad cacophony of the the reef and ocean floor (such wonderful things around you what more are you looking for!)
So for the next four hours of today I chase puffer fish, eels, lion fish and blue spotted Rays!!!!! Cool!
Ok tomorrow we are heading to check out an old wreck! 7am departure here we come!
