All done

So with the final dives come and gone, test passed and a PADI open water dive card in the pocket, i was ready to tackle the graduation party. Not quite - on this final day of the course i had woken up up with some sort of vicious fever and a terrible stomach which plagued me throughout my dives. Too scared to let one out or i might fill my wetsuit, i had to press on (for search of a better word), but that night my drinking shoes were not polished and I faded after just a few quiet Changs.

One thing they did on our last day was film our dives and package it all up for us so we could one day bore our friends and relatives with the experience. Its fun watching the whole thing underwater, but not so much when you see yourself still learning how to dive and flapping your arms around violently when you should be looking pretty graceful

Tonight our chef was so wasted on something. Don't know if it was the the local weed or local rum, but he had no idea. I had to ask him many times to put my food on the grill as during the walk from it to the fish tray he would forget that he had spoken to me. Naturally he burnt everything as all time frames were completely lost in his mind. It was hilarious to watch though.

Celia and I booked out of our dodgy free room at the dive school and into a cabin on the rocks in Shark Bay. It was fantastic and we relaxed there all day the night after with the sound of the waves at our feet. Pure paradise. Sadly we did not see any sharks in Shark bay but then there we're no turtles on Turtle island either...
