Cup of tea before we set off ……

While the dive boat is loaded up with the essentials such as air tanks….

Then a speedboat ride.  Chatting to our fellow divers during this time was one of the real pleasures of the day. 

Oscar the dive master draws a plan of the dive site while fellow diver catches up on the early start.

Snacks and drinks between dives.  The couple sitting next to Mike were with us both days and gave us much encouragement because they only started diving five years ago having signed up for a taster in their local pool in Devon.  Much like we had done in Oxford.  They have since done over 500 dives all over the world and help out at the local sea life centre cleaning the tanks!  So they seem to have taken to it then.
