Me and Ceri spent a night at Rocktail bay beach camp and did a pool scuba introduction and then a first open sea dive at 12 metres. This was an incredible experience. We spent quite a while trying to equilize, but this evntually was made easier by a potato bass the size of Louis that seemed to try to rub his scales on our wet suites and managed to take our minds off the pressure! I found the breathing very difficult in the pool and eventually had to tell Ondine that I was unable to concentrate on any activities because i felt I was being suffocated. Turned out to be a closed valve used by experience divers to reduce oxygen intake when diving! With this problem solved I was fee to brathe again and felt like a water baby...probably why my oxygen ran out first when we did the sea dive(I was so relieved to have oxygen in my lungs after my previous day of oxygen deprivation. Ondine was our instructor and Ceri pointed out her very relevant surname in the diveing world ie. Ondines curse!
On a seperate snorkel excursion a slinger bit ceri on the little toe and another slinger bit me on my finger. Ceri almost jumped staright back onto the boat. A large potato bass again came and circled us. Quite intimidating to have a large fish follow us around the weekend.
Louis is now able to snorkel in the swimming pool. We want to go to Lala neck to take him to snorkel. It is a well protected bay which is good for kids to snorkel in.
Ralph loves the tele tubbies and Fifi. He also is a 'dyno thunder power ranger' with a sword and a noise to accompany his movements. Ralph loves the jungle book and espesially the song: ' trust in me...'
Cecily had her birthday last week and we are now organizing things to do when she comes over the Xmas period. It is nice to have visitors because we then plan excursions and this is a great past time.
