Nice Lazy Sunday On The Island

Me enjoying a nice cold Salva Vida whilst sitting on the patio of my new place updating my blog. Life is tough, let me tell ya.

I decided to not go out on the pub crawl on Friday since I had a couple rescue course dives on Saturday. Yeah, yeah; I know. But that course is absolutely whipping my ass and I didn't want to have to deal with rescue scenarios and 'panicked' divers all hungover. The wreck dive was absolutely stellar though. 110 ft. with killer viz and tons of 3 - 4 foot Nassau groupers accompanying us for a portion of the dive. I did miss however, due to being in a lecture session, the pod of dolphins giving birth the other day. Oh well.

So I moved into some new digs just up the road from my shop this morning. It makes it much easier to get to work and home with not having to travel 5 km and relying on my friend to pick me up or take me to work in the morning. I really appreciate the fact she was letting me stay there but the money I'll save in eating out every day and cabs/water taxis more than makes up for the cost of the place I rented. Plus I can buy two weeks worth of groceries for 1200 lempiras (about $60) and have breakfast, lunch, and dinner at home when it costs about 100 limps to eat one meal out. Score. It's a great little place that's fully furnished, has a beautiful tropical garden for a yard, and is literally a 5 minute walk to the shop.

Tomorrow is the last day of rescue training and then I'll officially be a DMT (divemaster trainee). We have confined water skills in the morning and then two training dives at 11 and 2 followed by the exam and then I'll be a certified rescue diver. Excellent. I haven't had the chance to get the pictures from the wreck dive from Alex but I'll get on that tomorrow and will post them soon. I should probably get back to filling out the remaining knowledge reviews for the rescue course so I can actually get certed tomorrow. I'll be taking my laptop to the shop daily since there's wireless there and my new place has a rocking connection as well so I'll be posting more frequently from here on out.

Later.
