We got picked up at the hotel at 7.40am and taken to the dive club. The twins were taken off and taught some theory about diving and we started to kit up. Andy got quite stressed, which is normal for him - travelling and diving - other than that I cant think of much that phases him...he gets quiet and stressy, and I know he will be fine once we get going!
We had to carry all the equipment on our backs down to the beach. It is very heavy and was very hot!! We walked into the water and swam out a bit - we did a check of our buoyancy and the amount of weights on us. We both got another couple of KG added to us and then before we could change our minds, we went down. It was so cool!!! (apart from the fact that my mask kept steaming up and when I let water in to clear it, it got into my eyes and boy did it sting!!). It was just so cool to be diving and be able to see where you are going, see ech other and see so many cool creatures!!
It was really good near the end of the dive - we saw the twins and got our pic taken underwater with them - altho it didn't come out well! My buoyancy was pretty pants and I couldn't keep still because we were really shallow (something I'm glad to say I got sorted out on the other dives we ended up doing).
Afterwards we all soooo knackered!! we had the chance to do another dive and it was only me that was up for it - albeit I was really tired too... in the end we opted for going home and coming back another day.
