Words aren't enough....

Hi Guys! Sure you're all glad to hear I'm back safe and sound in the hostel!

The trip...well, it truly is indescribable. So beautiful, so amazing, seeing all the different corals and fish, its unreal. I recomend and urge anyone to Dive if they come out to this part of the world, you will not regret it whatever the cost!

For 3 days/2 Nights I got the chance to do 10 dives - 4 to pass my Certification, then 6 fun dives (and believe me, they were). DIving is so cool! Just floating about, watching all aqualife carry on it's business.

One of the dives was a night dive, where we were taken out by an awesome guide/instructor called Allan (who was hilarious) and he took us to see the reef at night (with a torch, obviously), which is completley different to day...for a start, there were about 15-20 Sharks floating above our head!

I also managed a 6am Scuba dive on the 2nd day with friends Stephen and Sydney, Canadians who I met on the course. That was unreal. The coral was so beautiful and to top it off...TURTLE! We watched it feed, it came up for some air and we got to touch it!!
This also happened on my penultimate dive, where me and Dive Buddy Michael (from Winsconson, who I also met on the course) and we actually swam with it for about 15 minutes under the sea, stroke and watching it. It was truly majestical.

All in all there were 8 of us completing the PADI certification; Stephen & Sydney, Andrew (from Colorado) and Miles (from Cornwall) were the 5 who started in the pool and classroom together on the Sunday; Lina (From Germany) who started the week before but whose Dive was cancelled due to the stroms; and
Michael and Manjulah (USA), who had done the pol stuff back home and were joining us for the Open Water stuff. We grew into a pretty tight-nit group, had lots of fun and laughs together. S&S, Lina and Manjulah all left the 2nd day.

Anyway, I won't go on too much more about the dives because...well, I can't put it into words properly. I will upload just a few of the photos I took with my underwater Camera that I hired though to give you a flavour. I'll put the rest on FB at some point in the future.

What now? Well rest tonight! Diving is tiring, especially when you start at 6am! Although I'm not to sure where to go from here. Any ideas would be welcome!
