Diving and an exam

16/6/11

Lu is in kids camp again as he has to be at the dive centre for 8.30 am for more skills sessions. At 11.30 James, Sasha and I head off for a dive. The current is quite strong but never the less we have fun albeit with Antonio having to hold on to Sasha and I so we don’t float away as we practice our skills underwater. James on the other hand looks majestical just hovering above us as we complete our tasks. I am not sure why James was worried about losing his skills as the 100 dives he has under his belt certainly show. His buoyancy is second to none… a skill that still alludes me!

The afternoon is spent watching more DVD’s followed by the final exam. After three months of reading nothing more taxing that some low grade fiction it is a shock to the system to have to recall new knowledge to answer 50 questions. It’s actually quite hard and I have to retire to the back room for some quite. Fortunately I had paid enough attention and retained enough facts in order to pass the exam.

Feeling like we had worked hard and in relation to our recent expenditure of mental energy we had we decided to reward ourselves with a nice dinner and a beer. This was pushing the boat out as in my quest to stay on budget or certainly not exceed it too much we had been eating bread and crisps for breakfast and pot noodles for lunch. Cheap yes delicious certainly not, nationally complete… dubious.
