BDC blues
WOOOO!!!! Diving is super super cool! It was only five hours in a small pool located in some super ulu side street near Casuarina Prata, but damn, I'm loving it. The first time you take a breath UNDERWATER....now thats something. Practicing all sorts of drills at the bottom of the pool and then realising you havn't gone up to the surface for 45 minutes!!! Can't wait to stare some fish eye to eye. And my dive buddy's great too! She teaches kids SPEED READING! How cool is that? Hopefully can pick up some pointers. Definitely gonna be helpful in school.
On the not so nice side, my predictions came true and she....IT......is getting on everybody's nerves. We're supposed to swim three laps and while everyone just goes and starts swimming, IT starts whining at the top of ITs voice about how IT can't swim without goggles. When I throw IT the scuba mask, IT starts whining that IT can't breathe. We try to stop listening around here but the performance goes on. When we're told to tread water to make sure we're water proficient, IT proclaims that it can't tread water at all and simply refuses to try, insisting on staying at the edge when everybody else is waiting for IT and suffering as a result. Even my dive buddy who tried to encourage IT was completely exasperated. Later on while we were practising the drills, IT claimed that IT had a TOE CRAMP and subsequently kept asking the instructor to excuse IT from this and that or at least let IT be last. Eventually we all got damn pissed and when IT started whining at the end of the session about how heavy the tank and gear was and how IT couldn't carry them (even though the rest of us were walking around easily with the load on our backs. girls included) , everybody just ignored IT. IT then made a big show of struggling to walk out of the pool with the gear on, looking like some deranged mutated drunk chimpanzee trying to pass a straight line test. Luckily ITs dive buddy is this quiet, good natured Finnish guy who doesn't say much. If it were me, there'd be another body parts case soon enough. Course I'd probably find a much better place to throw the bits away than orchard road.
