Hi All!Sorry for the lack of blogs, it’s just been manic here.
Firstly we’d like to wish Aunty Babs & Paulsy  a belated HAPPY BIRTHDAY !!!!  We both hope you had a fabulous day and just to let you know, we were thinking of you 😀
Secondly, A huge CONGRATULATIONS to Elaine & Sean  ..the newly married couple.   The family tell us that your wedding day was just beautiful.  We are so sorry that we weren’t there to share your day with you.   We’ve seen a couple of pictures on facebook and you looked amazing  ..still cant believe you’re married Elaine. 
Finally today, we both have the day off.  We’ve both been teaching non stop and we’re both shattered.  I slept till 11am but poor ole Si was up early and as usual, working on UK stuff.   
After tidying the house, finally sorting out washing, we’ve had time to catch up on ECO accounts, mails and are actually having some quality time together.  
Tomorrow we’re teaching Reef Check, so an early one tonight

It’s been a crazy week.  I helped out with a load of Chinese Open Waters.  Luckily I didnt have to do any of the acadmics and their English was limited but assisted on th confined and took 6 for the actual open water dives which was very interesting, seeing they only just got through their swims & floats.  The first 3 dives were breifed by Suki, our Chinese instructor but I decided to do the last and I think all n all, went pretty well. 

After expecting to take a couple of the Chinese for the Advanced course, I was given 4 lads of different nationalities which was good, all very good in the water, not all newly qualified 😀

Day 1 were had 3 dives, Navigation, Peak Performance Buoyancy & then a Night dive.  The 2nd day, there was a special trip on to Sail Rock, which I’d not been there for at least 18months, so I was very excited when the guys decided to upgrade.

A long journey but lunch was included and a double dive, so everyone was happy especially seeing 3 Bullshark  ..which were massive.  I was pretty nervious, they were very curious and stayed close to the reef edge.  I has all sorts of scenarios going through my head ;-D

The 2nd dive was much better, less people and just an adrenalin rush , just wish Simon was there with me to share the experience instead of teaching Rescue and being really busy with UK work.
