First Open Water Class: I spent the morning just hanging around and talking with various divers. In the afternoon, I got all of the students equipment together, loaded the boat, did the boat briefing and went diving. Most of the students did pretty well with one having just a little problem with bouyancy but he's getting better. The student were really excited about being in the ocean and seeing real fish and coral. It was fun to see their excitement. We saw a Grey Angel, Butterfly fish, needle fish and millions of minnows of some kind.

The evening concluded with a surprise birthday party for Robert, one of the instructors. We had lots of beer, run, cake and icecream. A few new people were there so I've got new faces and names to put together. More people are getting ready to leave so there is always a party or something going on it seems. It makes the evenings go fast but it leaves little time for personal things. I don't think I'll attend the next couple.

I have more diving with the students on Thursday.
