After swimming practice last night, I finally decided to give up smoking. I was coughing and wheezing like an old man trying to do my 400m freestyle.

It’s been almost 25 hours since my last cigarette, and I was kinda cranky on the boat today.

The rest of the crew have a sweep going as to how long I last before crack

This was the first morning in 4 years when I haven’t opened my eyes and sparked up a fag and stuck it in my mouth…



That’s me a DMT !

Dive Master in Training for you land lubbers…

Basically, I’ve finished week one of my Dive Master (DM) course and I spend the next month learning/gaining experience assisting with training courses, running dive boats, doing boat/dive briefings, looking after customers and being a general dogsbody

The first week was fairly tough, my dive skills (you get graded on 20 of them) are getting better and I passed the first two exams. Week two is five more exams and all the final assessments on your dive skills and timed swims (which I really need to work on)

Oh well, off to the pool now to practice my 400m freestyle in the 93 degree blazing sun.

It’s a hard life…



That’s me done my first night dive !

Aye right, so we all jumps in about 6:30 in the evening, all with our torches waying about like a bunch of eedjits. Then  the instructor (Belgian Frank) says we’re good to go and we all descends into the murky gloom…

Murky ??? All you can see is you and your buddies light beams and nothing else – it’s totally pitch black !

It was fucking awesome ! Mind how when you were a wee guy you’d run about with a torch in the dark pretending it was a light saber and making the noises from star wars ? Well this is even better !

Can you tell how excited I am ? Can you ?

(Oh and that isnae me in the photo cause nobody remembered to bring a fucking camera – eedjits…)



This is what you’ve all been waiting for !
