30/01/13 A Seychelles Birthday
In this last week the weather
hasn't been the best and so there has been a change to the usual dive
sites. But despite the rain and wind,
the visibility has still been amazing and we have seen white tipped reef
sharks, rays, octopus and turtles. We
are all starting to pass our coral, fish and invertebrate exams, which has
taken some amount of studying, with a pass mark of 95%! Since the last set of
blogs, it was my birthday and everyone was lovely in wishing me a happy
birthday and making me a cake, which was so delicious!
The weekend allowed for some
relaxation and lots of fun. The first
few weeks have flown by, but being here for 12 weeks as part of the Indian
Ocean Divemaster programme means I still have a lot to look forward to. I was concerned that having no background in
marine biology and with little diving experience would mean Id struggle with
the demands of the programme. However,
the course is so well organised, with staff members being very helpful and
approachable that all volunteers, regardless of their previous experience or
knowledge level, quickly feel confident with their diving, lecture subjects and
other duties. Although we are kept
pretty busy, we are all having an incredible time!
