After responding to the breakfast drums at 7.45, we discovered we had 3 dives today. All still down the beach, but it's so clear and beautiful, tis great. All the time we're doing various skills along the way like removing all aspects of our equipment underwater, clearing masks, pivot floats etc. We did our first dive at 8.45, and then our 2nd was just 15 minutes after it! Luckily current wasn't as strong as yesterday, (when we had to link arms and swim as a well oiled fishie machine). We had a break for lunch and hammocks, and did our final dive. By this time we're all very burnt by the sun through the water and my neck is red raw from the 3 hour boat trip yesterday. After some more hammock time, we met up with Matt to learn and do our test which was a total farce. We did some odd note taking to fill up some lines from an "answer sheet". Then we had a 50 question exam where we could chat about it and even ask him questions. Pretty ridiculous.
Evening spent mostly with Steph, Matt and another girl. Matt is a really crazy guy, with an odd sense of humour and you're never quite sure if he's lying or not. Good fun though.
