No Diving Today! Today I started the day by doing a quick review for a test I was taking in the afternoon. It was an open book test so I didn't study long. Basically you just need to know where to find things in the huge book or in my case the book on DVD.

I went to practice the mask fins and snorkel test again. This time was slightly better but still far from my times at home. I tried the 400 yard swim again (on my back) but gave up early. I was attempting this about 9:30 pm so I put sun lotion on my face and wore a dive skin (basically a girly looking pair of body tights). I got into the water and onto my back and started swimming. I suddenly realized how hot it was already and how bright the sun was. Suddenly the sun lotion was in my eyes and they were really burning. I turned around and came back to the dock and gave up. I'll never in improve my times any so I'm just trying to stay in shape a little bit.

I just hung around the shop till lunch and watch one beginner class to stay amused. I had a great fresh tuna filet sandwich at lunch even though most people won't eat them here because the fishermen fish the reef and the fish aren't refrigerated well. It didn't kill me and it was actually pretty tasty.

In the afternoon I took a test on the things a divemaster can do. I passed. I think I'll go swimming one more time a little later.
