1st day of Scuba: Mon 15 March


Our instructor, Dave, reminds of Jack Black. We have class for 2.5 hours and then a light lunch before we start in the pool with various skills tests. I find breathing through the regulator weird but not as scary as I thought it would be. I do get some water in my mouth but quickly learn to purge it. The only skill I really don't like is clearing my mask of water.

Underwater Dave looks even more like Jack Black and after we give him the OK sign he always wants to bang knuckles, which seems a very Jack Black thing to do.

After our class we have some time to sunbathe on the beach and I meet a German girl called Erin who I later meet for drinks in a really cool waterfront cocktail bar, along with her friends Anna and Daisy. The vibe is very relaxed here and it is so much easier to meet people. A lot of people seem to come for two weeks and end up living here!
