hey kids Just arrived back form a 3 day live aboard dive trip round the great barrier reef - and what a treat it has been! 4 dives a day has meant bright and early starts - 6 am - i kid you not! hoisting ourselfs into cold , dripping wet suits at such an ungodly hour certainly took some getting used to! Me and Bob were finally let off the leash and allowed to navigate around the dive sites ourselves. Considering how useless we both are with a compass it is hardly surprising that we ended up two dive sites away from the boat on more than one occassion - error! having to be rescued in a rubber dinghy!! not the best! met some real jokers on the boat - one of whom was slightly mental and referred to me as his ex wife, which i was not loving one bit!! went on a few dives with him where he spent the whole time terrorising the fish, tearing around chasing turtles, making hats out of the marine life and throwing animals around like footballs ! absolutely mental!! the crew were a real bunch of jokers and they took us out on the town last night! - the combination of sea legs, copious amounts of alcohol and table dancing, however, proved pretty lethal ! - we are certainly paying for it today!! -bruises galore! Alex this new lobster look sounds hilarious!! - maybe something to rival ging!! mo bet you were loving those chav mobiles - eyeing up the townies hey!! of course me and fi have now mastered the art of surfing and thinking of turning our hand to snowboarding next!! hope you're all missing us mwwahh! xxxxx
