    Advanced diving course

    October 28, 2017 in Mexico ⋅ 🌙 24 °C

    We had breakfast at Tulum Art Club before packing up and Zoe left to fly home to Australia. I started my advanced diving course with my instructor, a pom called Dom. We headed out to Casa Cenote which was right near the ocean. My first dive was a cavern dive where we practised laying a line, swimming by feel of the line, if there is a silt out and going in the part where the limestone and water mix to create a hazy water feeling. I saw a little crocodile swimming above which was pretty amazing!
    My second dive was navigation where I had to swim in a square, we timed my swimming speed and I led the dive for 10 minutes and we had to return to the starting point. After we finished I went back to my new hostel, the Weary Traveler where I had some rum and coke with chips. I ate dinner at the cheap authentic taco place and went back to the hostel for the free drinks hour. I met a few travelers and I went out with them to the Main Street for a bit.
