Diving course

For Christmas, Sally gave me a SCUBA Diving Course as a combined Christmas and 40th birthday present. Last week I attended a diving school in Los Christianos for 3 very cold and exhausting days. I was challenged mentally, and challenged physically...BUT I am now a qualified Open Water SCUBA Diver! Hooray. It has been a life long ambition of mine to dive (in warm waters), so I will be very happy to continue diving in West Africa. I hope to join the elite ranks of the Africa Mercy's divers who regularly are called upon to remove blockages from the ship's cooling water-intakes, scrape the propellors etc. Olly
