We were both on the afternoon boat going to Mango bay for a double dive.  This is a pretty shallow dive site, so perfect for Simon as you know, he’s not been able to equalise due to a sinus problem for a couple of weeks and it’s been driving him crazy.
So in the water, we causiously made our decent down the buoy line.  At 5 meters all was good and then Si ascended a couple of meters to see how his sinus’s felt.  All was good, so we dropped slowly to about 12 meters and pottered about in the shallows.   Throughout the dive I was very concerned and kept checking Si  to see if he was ok.  All was good, only some mild pain on surfacing and a huge smile on Si’s face, which made a pleasant change.
After a 45mins surface interval we kitted up for our second dive which was much the same, slightly shallower, saw a blue spotted ray chilling out under some coral but not much else but a very enjoyable time had.

A good result to a very nerve wracking test dive…

Today was mostly relaxing (again)..

After 2 very late nights with not much sleep, we both needed a rest. Besides that we had another late night with the World Cup Final….

We went out on the afternoon boat and I did some tests with my sinuses at a very shallow site. Results are good.. not perfect, but good. There are definite signs of improvement, although the weird nostril closing thing is still there (and maybe always will)…anyway the prognosis looks good, and I look forward to further testing in a couple of days.!

World Cup final in the evening (1.30am) was rubbish. It went to extra time which means we were at the bar till 4am…. Spain are the world champs.

I managed to catch the only goal, on my phone…

Today was a chilled day after the mainland trip yesterday.

We woke up about midday (only 5 hours sleep then), had brekkie, and popped to the Crystal Regal pool for a swim. I went into the deep end (which is not very deep) to test my ears… I can equalise but there is still some comfort issues. Plus I cannot evaluate what happens on ascent as it was too shallow…. but it was great to get in the water..

After that, we popped to Nathans to pick up our £5 coffee perculator that we had purchased the day before on the mainland.
Then we went home and i attempted to make sausages. OH DEAR! I think I need some lessons.

After eating my delicious (not) “sausages” we watched Clash of The Titans, and then Jen retired while I went to watch the footie with Carsten.

Final score – Germany 3 Uruguay 2
