Morning Dive

Morning Dive: Yesterday I didn't have any classes scheduled except for the night dive class and it was cancelled. I went fun diving in the morning instead. We didn't see anything special but the sites were interesting as usual.

We had new trainee start yesterday. He's a 46 year old Chinese fellow from NCY. Several of us invited him to dinner and we tried a new place none of us had tried before. It was excellent and the price was about the same as anywhere else. We are all pretty tired of the restaurants here however and all of us can't wait to eat at a "real fast food" place.

This morning I came into the dive shop early to check my email and update the blog only to find that we had no electricity. You must pay in advance here and someone actually sets a meter that shuts your electric off when your KW's run out. Someone at the dive shop forgot to watch the meter each day to make sure we had some time left so we ran out. We had students taking classes outside and we took ours in the attached restaurant which has its own meter and paid its bill. This was so unprofessional but pretty much normal for the way things work in Utila.

The class I attended was the Nitrox Instructor class. This class has newer materials and is very straight forward. Since I had prepared for the class it only took a few minutes to complete.
