Monday - our first open water dive!!

Monday brought a relaxing morning and a late start at the dive centre for a quick 10 minutes on section 5 of the manual and then off to prep the equipment before setting off for our first open water dive.

Prepping the equipment was fairly straight forward and quick and we then loaded the small 'taxi' boat that would take us out to the larger 'Davy Jones Locker' boat that was off shore and ready to take us to our first site.

Whilst on the boat we went through the diving brief and got ourselves into the equipment.  To launch ourselves off the boat we took one giant stride with all the kit on, and took our first hit of the calm but salty waters!  Once in we descended down a rope and had our first taste of open water diving - the scenery was breathtaking and the colourful fish were beautiful!  Definitely one of the most amazing things both of us have done!!

Dive number 2 was at a different site and offered another chance for us to be tested on our skills we had learnt in the pool, and also the chance to see more fish, and at a larger size.  If only our camara would work at such a depth (12metres) the views were truly amazing!!

Finally, after getting back to shore - a walk along the beach to enjoy a peaceful sunset on an adventure packed day!!  Bliss!!
