Today was a bits and bobs kinda day… small tasks to do here there and everywhere.

In the morning, we were scheduled to do 2 x Discover Scuba Diving (1 day taster dive).

So we woke up early, came into the dive school… then hung around till 9.30am and no one showed up. Rather annoying! Anyway, we watched the opening ceremony for the local school “Sports Day” which was starting on the beach.

After that, it seemed a good idea to have breakfast and chat with Nath for a hour or so. Then to Deep Down Productions, where I sat doing some UK work in their air con office… nice. Jen in the meantime, went for a massage.. She has a sore neck from coughing so much… bless.

After UK work and massage, we headed back to Crystal to confirm that the students never showed. We arranged to meet Carsten at 3pm for a chat, and returned home for yet more… UK work while Jen caught up with Eastenders.

The rain came in, and we dozed for an hour, missing our chat with Carsten. Eventually, it was time to go to “Clothes Swap”. Its held once a week at Vibe, and Jen goes and swaps clothes will other women… all very odd, and I just play on my phone while it happens..!

Successfully swapped, we stayed for a couple of beers and headed home… watching “Source Code” that evening. Good film.!

Today, I attempted to dive for the 1st time since the Rescue Course. Taking camera in hand to have some fun, I put on the retard mask and entered the water.

The descent was a tad “sensitive” but workable. And I managed a couple of hour long dives… Although my ears were throbbing a bit after, I shall see how they are tomorrow…

Apart from that, Jen is still suffering with a chesty cough… which is slowly getting better, and I am still manic with UK jobs.

Add to that, the island is about to hit one of its busiest seasons… in a few days… it will be crazy … full of people wanting to learn how to dive.

Not much to say really… I shall start taking some random pictures, just so you don’t have a boring post thats just text.. (like the last few)..

A slow start to the day for me yet again.   I’m recovering from a chesty cold and seem to be sleeping far too much whilst Si’s been very busy with his UK work and is still suffering with his ears.

This afternoon we did venture out to Deep Down, where Si went off, camera in hand with James to film some shots for the new Crystal/Deep Down intro whilst I entered some Coral Watch data for Nathan and then took a strole to Regal pool for a quick swim and lie in the sun.  I didnt do much swimming as the pool was packed.  After and hour or so, I dried off and took a leisurely strole back along the beach to Crystal.

By the time I reached Crystal, they’d just about finished filming, so perfect timing on my behalf. After grabbing a well needed drink, we all headed back to Deep Down to review some of the footage. There’s still quite a bit to shoot but they’re making good progress and it should be very entertaining ;-D

On route home we stopped at the grocers to pick up some supplies, as tonight, Si’s cooking one of his fabulous chili’s.  I’ll be preparing the onions, garlic and mushrooms and then I’ll hand over to Simon ;-D
