I'm just going to mention a few things that's happened in this past week, just to fill you guys in on whats been happening on paradise island. it will take too long to write about everyday in the week and i have an exam in two days time which i should be studying for - sorry :p
During this week i took a few divers out to do some wreck dives and i found some Japanese bullets - its awesome:) its amazing how many cool people I meet and how everyone comes from different places around the world but at the end of the day we are all the same. what i mean is that we might all have different accents/languages or come from different regions of the world but we ALL think, feel and hurt the same way - this was quite an eye opener for me :)
I Started another section in the PADI course :) Its all about saving lives and knowing what to do when caught in a situation. How to treat divers when they are victims or patients. I'm training to become a rescue diver. this is really something i love doing and i've always been interested in. I've always liked offering a service to benefit people in some kind of way.. i might take it up as a career someday, but we'll see how life works out. we did our rescue dives this past weekend and ran through drills and scenarios... and wow do you need to be fit for this!
I spent a day this week in an architecture firm! I'm definitely going to do this some more! It was so much fun and has inspired me to complete my studies which i should be starting some time this week :) its amazing how far technology has come -really! Adam was showing me a few designs and projects he was busy with in Honiara. He uses a program called Google Sketch Up and it incorporates Google Earth, its amazing! you can plot an area you want to build/design on using Google Earth with contour lines and everything! it really blew my mind! I'm starting to think Google sketch up is becoming better than Auto CAD.
Anyway, i should be studying for my PADI Recovery course exam... here are some underwater pic's to look at =D
Love you All!
Me looking @ a Scorpion Fish - i bet u cant see it
Schools of fish
Inside the Wreck
All the little black dots on the right are thousands of bait fish being eaten by tuna
Fun and games
Hay Bro,
ReplyDeleteAWESOME PICS MAN!!!! They were worth the wait! Love the one of you looking at the fish (and yes, I cant see it :) But believe you that its there!)
I cant believe how much you're doing over there! Just imagine if you werent there, what you'd be doing here instead?! So thats pretty cool!
Maybe if you like it so much there, Adam could hire you! BUT, you still have to come back for my wedding :) hehe.
Your hair is getting long hay! Time for a haircut :) Unless you following the tropical island trend and groving it crazy big! :)
Well, not much happening here... Andrew & I have decided to look for a place, its about time we get a place of our own, its so exciting, but everything is so expensive! The smallest place even costs a fortune! But, we're still looking!
Time is going fast hay, its almost time for you to come home! Glad you're having a rad time and experiencing the world! Maybe when you get back, you'll be planning your next worldwide adventure since you love it so much!
Miss you bro! Have a stunning day! Love you! Hugs!
Hi Graham,
ReplyDeleteIt's great to read your posts, and the pics are wonderful. This past week has been just awful - going on to your blog, and then nothing to read :-).
Enjoy your time out there, and all the best with your studies (diving and architecture ;-)
Lots of love from Oudtshoorn
