Poor Knights

Well this is fantastic, I am so pleased I decided to do this, I wouldn't miss it for the world. Its so different from Cairns. The water is colder and a lot clearer, I am wearing a thicker wet suit and that changes my buoyancy. I am the only person doing the advanced course and so I have the instructor all to myself. My instructor is John, from Canada, of course he is very young I've come to expect that now, he is very helpful and explains things very well.

I did three dives today and he said I improved a lot, I am beginning to get the byoyancy thing sorted. I just need to watch my depth a bit more but there are so many things to watch and the fish distract you by swimming up real close to you, its like they are laughing at you sometimes. I also did a navigation dive and I was really pleased with that because it wasn't really easy to understand the last time but this time it was great. You can always trust a Canadian, to teach you how to use a compass, they are renowed here for being mad keen on camping and anything to do with getting out into the country. I've also tried taking some photos which I need to get developed so I hope that there are fish in some of them, it not easy when they don't hold still.

Tomorrow I'm doing my deep dive which menas I go below 18m for the first time and after that I will be qualified to go down to a max of 30m.
