Another exhausted Monday

I'm wiped out...but it was a fantastic weekend. And it's official...I am now a PADI Open Water diver. My 4 open water dives went well. Most of the skills were easy. The visibility was about 3 meters and it wasn't as cold as I had expected it to be. I about died after getting all the gear and weights on and then walking down the damn rocks to the water on Saturday...I didn't do that on Sunday...the boys - or maybe just Shannon - carried all my crap for me except I carried my own weights on the way down. I got to see fish, star fish (one with 10 arms) and a dead octopus. We dived around a wreck so that was fun to go through...lots of sponges and barnacles and kelp. Saturday was Australia Day and I went to Rebecca's for a bbq. Sunday I came home to flatmates! - Deanna's been housing-sitting for over a month and Wayne's been at his girlfriends for a couple of weeks...I've liked having the flat to myself but it was great to hear voices when I walked in yesterday. Deanna made dinner and the three of us ate together. Then Shannon came over and we hung out and watched tv. This pic is from Sunday when we were all through...6 students, 3 instructors and 3 divemasters working on becoming instructors. I'm on my tip-toes, with Shannon next to me in the middle, and my main instructor, Tracey, is the one that's half-hidden on the other side of me.
