still busy at Utila Dive Center

i can’t type with cindi watching….so i just kicked her out of the room.

just wanted to give some more updates:

- we found some free internet at our Dive Center…at least until they catch us

- it is still too slow to upload pictures

- we dove twice this morning…saw an spotted eagle ray, 2 turtles, a sea horse, and a huge southern sting ray

- we have the divemaster underwater stress test today at 3.  we have to exchange all of our equipment (every piece) with someone else…all of this while buddy breathing…and the instructors kicking up sand and pulling on our hoses, purging our alternates…etc.  should be fun

- they moved the stress test from 1pm to 3pm so everyone could watch the european soccer championship.  germany vs. spain…they are really into that here…some people cried at the last game - ha

- tonite we have a staff only night dive at the haliburton wreck.  she lies in about 100ft or 30 meters of water.

- cindi and I just signed up for the wreck and nitrox specialty.  only 50$ each!!

- we should have all of our divemaster requirements completed by next friday except for the snorkel test. 

- they “think” they are going to pour a bunch of straight rum down our snorkel while chanting crude american jokes …we will see

- we got skype…username is opdyckej - if you download on your computer, we can call you computer to computer free.

- all of our online security issues are ok…

- 3-4 more weeks in utila…we think we will go to roatan before we leave honduras…then looking forward to costa rica!!

later
