Sorry for the lack of posts. 

Both Simon and I have been busy teaching a Rescue course for the last few days.  It’s was only a one person course but it’s been a lot of fun.  Our student, Stephanie is going on to do the Eco courses,  Reef Check and Marine Resource Management which is just brilliant.

I think in the next couple of days we’ll be taking it easy, packing and hopefully getting in as many dives as possible before we head home on the 25th.

We’re both really looking forward to seeing the family but it’s going to be strange not being able to dive everyday.

Today, Jen and I went to visit the coral nursery we installed at Twins in early September.

It started off as a lovely sunny day, and turned into a very wet event….

Sadly I only managed the 1 dive, as on the 2nd one, my sinus issue appeared making me unable to descend…. a harsh reminder of the need to fix my body when we return to the UK…

Anyhow…. check the growth of the corals out!

Today, we had organised to go to Junkyard, as it was in need of repair after the terrible weather we have had recently..

So, double diving it with 16 people, we got a lot done! While Jen took a bunch of guys to fix 1 structure, me and Carsten (in his fantastic rooster hoodie) went to fix the Tin Man.

Although the visibility is still not good, there was a lot of good work done, and even a great barracuda on the site…. very nice!

ext dive, since Carsten was itching to saw something, I let him loose on the truck tyres… Carsten was unaware that the tyres are threaded with steel wire… and 15 minutes later, he gave up much to my amusement..!

Then we headed to the new coral nurseries, to give the a waft and remove sedimentation..

A great day, and all tasks that we needed to complete, were done… its good to be diving again… 🙂
