6am start as I had to be at the harbour for 7am so I could get on my dive boat rum runner! After a quick shower and a bit of toast I hopped on the shuttle and made my way to the harbour, I found the boat and got signed in and quickly got all my gear sorted! Eventually everyone turned up and we were off by 7.30, we filled in our paper work and then had a quick briefing whilst eating toasties! After a couple hour cruise we ended up at the first dive spot where we s...

Headed back where I made lunch and then got chatting to Linzi for...

Had a wee bit of a lie in to fully get over the bus journey from the day before and helped myself to some free breakfast! Mike and I then shared a load of washing and whilst that was on the go we had another game of chess, this time I came out on top! The weather wasn't brilliant so we played a game of table football and when it cleared up myself and Mike joined two German girls and we went to check out the beach, the first part of our trip was spent opening a co...
