Happy Diving! :)

Today was a great day! It started at 11:00 – Yay! – with my written test. 45/50. It’s a great score. 🙂
(I did, in the end, join the other group. This is a great thing, since the instructor is really nice and really funny and his assistant is too! 🙂 )

We went out at 12:30 for the dives. I felt okay though it was good. It seems the general consensus is that I have seasickness.. Ugh! I’ve never had seasickness before! 🙁 Oded, my sweetheart, went and bought me anti-seasick pills. Bless him. I hope they will do the job tomorrow! 🙂

Anyway, we had our very funny “family chat” with our instructers – Alex and Mike – and then went down for our first dive. It was really good, other than the fact that I had a disagreement with a coral and it scratched my leg up pretty good.. What’s really funny is that under a certain level, you bleed green! It’s really, really freaky. 😉 Don’t worry – I’m fine! Just in a little pain. 🙂

We saw some pretty cool fish on the dive, which was a lot of fun! 🙂

We finished the dive and spent some time on the ship to our next dive point, then had a second dive, which was really good, after I stopped panicking.. You see, I have a real problem – when things are funny, I laugh, as we know. And when Alex is being particularly funny (as he always is) – underwater – I laugh – underwater. Which means my mask fills up with water.. Which is a problem when I gasp water up my nose.. So I breathed a little water instead of air and started to panic, which was okay since Alex saw and helped me through it without drowning. 🙂 After I calmed down, the whole thing was pretty funny.. 🙂
After that, the dive was perfect!

We got back, and my wonderful man got me some crab, which I am happy to say was really fun and worth the effort – He won’t agree, though.. 🙂 So now I am happily full of crab and the world is moving as if I’m still on the boat, so I’m going to go now..

I’m having the most incredible time! 🙂

Love you all!
