Open water certified!

Just got back from the boat! It was such an adventure. water was so rough on the way to the reef that heaps of people were spewing. soo filthy. but not me! close though. we got off the boat after 90 minutes and boarded the live-aboard boat. we had a greasy lunch and jumped into the water! i saw so many cool things! parrot fish, clown fish, 90 yr old clams, pineapple sea cucumber. i could go on and on! we dove 2 times and did some skills too. Today we got up at 5 to do a 6am dive, glorious. barrel rolled into the water and down we went! Our instructor was ben, really lovely guy. My classmates all got along sensationally. Thiago, Timo, NJ, Arin and I. Timo was my buddy for diving and it was great because we were both fast swimmers and good on air. if you breath too heavily you use all your air too fast and have to end your dive early. daphne the heavy breather would be out in minutes! also shes a baby so diving probably wouldn't be her style anyway. Im back at the hostel in Cairns and Im set to leave wednesday. honestly, i dont even want to leave. i love it here. the people are amazing, and im just not ready, might extend by a day or two, we'll see!
off to the woolshed for pints and pizza!
Love,
Hannah
