It seems the internet has broken… yet again!

I have paid a provider £20 to get me online (albeit at super slow speed)…. just so I can manage UK work and emails while this mess is sorted.!

On another note… its another birthday!! This time its Chris (Jenny’s brother in-law)..

Happy Birthday & St Paddy’s Day!!

Happy Birthday Emily!!!

Its been pretty bad here internet wise, and have had single emails and webpages taking over an hour to load.

Apparently its been a problem on the mainland for almost a week now… This evening its finally working again (keep your fingers crossed).

Anyway… back to Emily… We hope that you had a great birthday party and lots of cake and pressies!!

Uncle Simon & Aunty Jen!

Open Water went really well. The group were really good and I think it was the most confident group I’ve had in a long time.  A pity that the two Austrian lads decided to have a day off due to one of them cutting something in his throat.  Lucky for them, Simon said he’d take them instead of being put with a load of chinese. If only they knew how lucky they were
After a pretty easy couple of days diving, the group had qualified and we all met later at Vibe to watch their video   …which Im glad to say, two sold.

I had the next day off while Si had to meet the two Austrian boys for dives 1+2 and then he was up early the following morning for their dives 3 & 4.
After a surprize lunchtime visit from Simon and a delicioius egg, bacon and sausage sandwich, Si has a 20min snooze and then headed back to the office.Around 3.30pm I headed down to Crystal to meet Si as we were off to New Heaven dive school to go out on the boat with them to witness and catch some coral sporn.    We eventually headed out around 6.30, set up our gear and jumped in the water for a quick survey of the area to find certain species that were going to spawn.  Spawning happens only a couple of times a year and a few days after full moon, which is related to the lunar calender …so corals marked, the divers took it in shifts to watch for any sporning action.  It was all pretty exciting  and just a waiting game.  At one stage someone surfaced and shouted GO GO GO  ..we all kitted up as quickly as possible and jumped in  …but unfortunately only one of the corals at the deep marker had started spawning  ..and only a small amount of coral spawn was collected.
