Dinner last night was lovely. Jen had a peppered steak, and a pizza for me!

I would have taken pictures but, my iphone takes bad pictures in dim light. The place was wooden built, posh service, and by the sea. We had a bottle of red wine (Jacobs Creek – which cost £30 !!!) and enjoyed the view. Nice, peaceful evening…

Back to Buoyancy World the next morning…

There is so much still to do, and today we had a couple of Divemaster Trainees come up for the morning to help. Its nice, but still disappointing that several did not show up even though it was scheduled for them.

For me there was some running around as the Mini Park Deployment was due to happen today. Of course, after all equipment was set up etc, it was cancelled due to the weather. In the afternoon, there was a dive site clean up scheduled, which due to the heavy waves and strong wind we decided to scrap. We ended up playing Settlers of Catan in Vibe bar…. And then home to bed…

On a sidenote, my brother is taking the 3 peaks challenge, which is to climb the 3 largest mountains in England, Scotland, & Wales in 24 hours.

More pictures from the last 2 days…

Jenny and I have been full on with the building, and today we have knocked off early to spend some time celebrating our 5th wedding anniversary together… maybe a little snooze and then out for dinner at Sensi Paradise… I shall have a report tomorrow… cos we have never been there!

On another note… its Roy’s birthday… So, HAPPY HAPPY BIRTHDAY BRO!!!

So,

As the full moon rush starts to quiet, I had started another Rescue course with 3 divers and it started pretty normally… While I was on the boat teaching, Jen went to the construction area to start building our “Coral Wreck”..

During my standard boat day…. Jen was involved in building the a new structure for Buoyancy World 2.0…

During the time Jen was on land, I was having a exciting time! The wind had come in, and the water became extremely choppy. As we went to leave the dive site, our mooring line became caught in the boat propeller! With the captain and boat boy panicking, I ran to the back of the boat with another instructor. With the back of the boat turned to the waves, they were smashing through the back deck all through the bottom deck and straight into our engine bay… Kitting up, with a tiny cooks hatchet in hand, I moved to the back of the boat to jump in… When I got there, I saw a massive wave about to hit us. I held on to the back deck ladders and the wave hit me full force… It was awesome..

I had managed to hang on, and not wanting to wait for the next wave to crash into me, jumped in, and descended. Under the boat, the prop was totally caught up in mooring rope… so Mike and I set to work cutting the rope, but a few metres away as the boat was smashing up and down in the water above our heads. Suddenly after what seemed like an age, the rope snapped…. Watching the prop, all the rope fell away luckily… and it was free and clear… We surfaced and got back on the boat (not easy with those waves!) and headed back to Crystal, with the waves slamming against us… Not your average day!

Anyway, the next day, Jen and I headed to the Buoyancy World construction area and continued with James, Olly and Nathan to build.. its starting to come together!
