Diving - Mini Photo Journal
I know I don't usually do this, but hey, I don't have to go to work, and I like to savour the experience. Plus I'm pretty bored at home, and I don't wish to touch my pharmaco textbook.

Our Dive resort... Atlantis Bay.
It took us a good 4 hours on a dinghy slowboat to get there.
By the time we arrived, most of us were sunburnt. Even desperate measures throughout the rest of the week were not sufficient to rescue our toasted faces. Although it made for fascinating photo moments ;)

Poor burnt Kenneth attempts to salvage the situation by slopping on the sunscreen. Too bad buddy, gotcha there!

Wan Ho wasn't spared from the sun either, and it wasn't just his face that suffered =/

We were taken under the wings of the ever so cool dive instructor, Shafe. [the guy with the bandana obviously; the sun would have been disasterous on his gleening head ;)] I seriously thought his name was shave, because he has the hair (or lack of) to go with it.

Sometimes I wonder how he put up with us. Meet the entertainers of the gang, me and my long lost brother, Kevin (shudder).
Providing endless amounts of silliness, giggles and just slapstick stupidity for entertainment. And yes I did canonball jump off the boat, TWICE, and land flat on my face in the water just for an adrenaline rush. Plus it provided jaw dropping entertainment and side splitting laughs.

That aside, still managed to find time off diving to climb the intriguing rock formations along the side of the resort. Caught some misty views of the bay at dusk.

Yup thats me still monkeying my way around.

And it was back to business again, getting briefed by our instructor Alex, who was younger than the entire group, except for me. Yes. Me the baby. =/
So this is us starting to rig up... well most of us.
Stop acting silly Adam, get to work.
Ok now Kevin, stop slacking off. =P
The guys who taught us all we know, which isn't alot, yet. We wouldn't have been alive without them, the ever so seh instructors, Shafe and Alex.
And without whom I personally would be in trouble as well, my buddy, Kenneth, both of us burnt to a crisp.
So there you go. That was the diving trip. =)
Really glad I plunged in.
In more ways than one.
