Day 28 - Open Water Dive 1 & 2

As predicted being hungover and going diving wasn't really the best idea. Even a substantial breakfast with the Norwegians couldn't shake the feeling of having minimum sleep and too much to drink.
That all changed once we had kitted up and hit the open water for the first time. Our first drive was only to a depth of about 7.5m but those 7.5m were pretty damn amazing. We didn't really do any skills on this dive, just had a bit of a cruise around getting used to being amongst the fish. I was feeling pretty pleased with having finally made it into the underwater world that's for sure!
Our second dive for the day was mostly spent doing skill which was all pretty straight forward since we'd mastered them all the day before in the pool.
Everyone was on quite the high after coming out of the second dive but we were also pretty knackered so everyone went their separate ways once back on land, myself having a nice quiet meal on the beach before hitting the hay. Boy was I looking forward to dive 3 and 4 though!
