Scuba Diving

Today was a real trip highlight! Courtesy of Gaynor's diving school (Coconut Tree Divers) we had our own 2-to-1 introduction to diving day!

First up we were taken through the basics in shallow water at the beach. It didn't take us long to pick up the required skills to be ready for a dive.

After a break we then headed a little further out on the boat. Although we don't have any pictures of our actual dive, I've attached a picture of the area it was in.

The area was full of coral and fish, but I think funniest of all was seeing each other on the ocean floor in diving gear like something out of Mission Impossible, a long way from Mr Syed's year 8 maths class!

We were able to go down to 40ft deep and our underwater escapade lasted 52 minutes without rising above the surface once!

We had a great time and it was a big box ticked in trying something we've both been wanting to do for a while. Thanks to Gaynor and her expert guide for such a wonderful day!Read more
