Life Long Learning

Over the weekend Chris did the first of four parts towards getting his PADI - which I think means he can go diving without an instructor. Diving is a good pastime in the warm waters of Raro, but in Dunners? Might bump into an iceberg.

I’m not so keen on doing the beginners’ course anymore. Turns out I wouldn’t be allowed to take a big stick to keep the fish away. Shesh! They’re wild animals—they might bite! I hardly think I’m being unreasonable.

You should like so totally learn to dive. It's awesome and not being able to is a complete waste of Rarotonga. Do you at least snorkel? And don't worry about fishies biting you, I'm sure one glare through the mask from you and they'll understand that you could have them chopped into fish fingers and dunked into tomato sauce before they could blink. ;-)

I snorkel baby - i snorkel with the liquid grace of a dolphin... or at least a very small white dolphin all angry and red with sunburn as I thrash about in a style I like to call: "not quite dog paddle but more how a cat would swim if it had hair didn't want to mess up that hair"
