its been a few days since my last post so i hope everyone back home is doing well. over the last few days ive been basically rinsed all the time because the people i mostly live with work for another dive centre lol, but i still go to there dive bar wearing my ban;s diving shirts... good times all round. anyway, ive been rushed of my feet doing my instructor training and yesterday we had our first hardcore exams, 7 divemaster exams in the morning, a few hours of in water assesment, then a standards exam, it was an intense day but everyone passed easily so we all got a day of today, and are now all assistant instructors, just 2 more weeks of the course left. today was a day off but the idc instructors told us to stay in the classroom and do exams, everyone stayed accept me and one other candidate, we were like, fuck that, and got on the diveboat to go for a normal fucking dive. best descision i ever made.
the sea was rough as fuck, rain was pelting the boat, but me and my mate connor got our gear on and jumped off the boat before it moored on the bouyline, so we could be in the water first, did a free decent to 20m where we saw a huge bull shark swimming in the distance, we were about to follow it but.... this emormous whale shark (about 5 meters long) cruised into site, i could barely breathe it was the most awesome thing i ever saw in my life. because of the weather the current was bad but we had compasses so we went away from the dive site into the open blue, we found 9 bullsharks together circuling a bait ball of fish, then the whale shark swam past again.... 9 bull sharks and a whale shark in the same feild of veiw.. breath taking. the dive went on and we saw about 20 bull sharks in total, got back to the boat and everyone was just pumped. great atmosphere. just got back now, cant wait to go gloat to everyone... muahaha. anyway i dont have long i have work to do for tomorrow :<
big love to people back home.
