Corn island,
Nicaragua
Tuesday, October 14, 2008
Am now on Little Corn Island, taking a course to become a PADI certified Open Water Diver, so that I may dive anywhere in the world without professional help in future. Took a very small 12-seater plane here, that you couldnt even stand up straight in. Very bumpy landing. Could have actually slapped the pilot whilst still seated. The island is a little piece of paradise, only 1.5km long, 300m wide, mainly sourrounded by long white beaches stretching into the warm turqoise caribbean sea. i have a wooden hut that is 10m from the sea. Loving SCUBA diving, am going to extend my stay here by 1-2 days longer than planned, maybe become a certified advanced diver, doing stuff like night dives. have seen lots of colouful fishes, lobsters, star fish and some sharks (harmless nurse sharks). weather isn't great (cloudy and raining / sunny 50-50%), but ive been lucky that it's sunny whenever im at the beach and raining when im underwater or sleeping
back to the mainland on friday or saturday, back in the UK in about 10 days
hope all is going well for all of you
