Week 9, Day 42

Today was very busy with dives in the morning and in the evening and an exam in the afternoon. The morning dive was our last surface standby rescue dive and was like other I have already mentioned in earlier blogs.
After our dives, we did our Scuba exam which was 30 multiple choice questions. Up until now the past papers that had been handed out were roughly of the same standard as the examination but in the case of Scuba, the exam was very hard and nothing like the mock. All of the divers are thinking about the exam result which we will find out tomorrow.

In the evening we all headed down to the pier at 8:00pm and began setting up the equipment however the tide was higher than normal (in fact it was waist high) so we all put on out wetsuits and began messing about like a bunch of kids (some even jumped from the containers above the pier). After the tide finally wend down, we finished setting up and began diving. We had to dive to 16 meters and survey a wreck. Given that it was pitch dark and we only had a ‘cheap’ torch (or flashlight as it is called in America), we slowly made our way down and had a look around. It was very peaceful and a nice dive.
