OK - where do we start. Started our advanced course this morning and now, 3 exhausting dives later, we are almost too tired to type...

We did our Navigation, Bouyancy and night dive today. The first two were really extensions of what we've done before but the night dive was totally different. I enjoyed it but Jen was indifferent, although seeing rays in their natural environment by torchlight is something else.

We are hiring a camera tomorrow so should get lots of piccies...and by this time tomorrow we'll be advanced divers!!!

Other news - not alot really, Cambridge won 5-0 which I received by text message - always a bonus at midnight...we've also booked our tickets for the ferry to Koh Samui. Vanessa is coming with us for the time being but we're leaving Mike here so he can get his advanced finished. We have also booked this hotelhref="http://laguna-beach.com"> for 13-15 Feb which is where we stayed 18 months ago. Trust me after 3 dives a day and no hot showers (and you also have to 'sluice' some of the toilets...) 'we're ready for a bit of luxury' (Jen dictated that line word for word!!!)
