Day one of my Open Water Diving course.
The day got off to a bad start as the reception got the message wrong and told me that it would be a 8.30am pick up when it was really a 9.30am pick up. So after an hour or more in the lobby my ride arrives and I'm off.
Spent the morning on the classroom doing the theory and after a nice cheap lunch spent the afternoon in the pool. It was a good day, especially as I ended up buddying with Aaron from Aspen, Colorado who is pretty competent. Overall it was a good intro day.
Back to the hotel and out for tea, to the same spot as last night and then had negotiations with some local art shops to get the James Bond pictures done. Chose one shop and gave them the pictures, will see how it goes.
