Today I did my first SCUBA dive. It was in a swimming pool, not in the ocean, but that's where you go when you are a beginner. It's nice to be able to breathe under water, pity there has to be so much gear.
The instructor is a forthright British lady in her early fifties. She really raced through it, possibly wanting to make the most of having a student who could swim. And, special bonus, had used a mask flippers before.
Apparently Africans, Philipinos, and Timorese all sink. High bone density is to blame.
Took the film camera out today and went for a drive up to the hills. Unfortunately the road I chose was blocked by a huge land slip, so had to turn around.
Anyway, here are some snaps from earlier in the week on my iPhone.
More students on an excursion.
I was on the side of the road waiting for a good shot of a motorbike - one with the whole family on it, and this guy rolled up and wanted me to take his photo. Well, I aim to please...
Comoro Road.
More Comoro Road. What you can't see is the heat, steam, and dust.
