The diver looks vaguely, but can't tell for certain because she's not holding a mojito!

Yup, it's me.     :D
 
 It was hard work, but I did it.  I am now an official PADI certified open water diver!!!!  and I lived to tell the tale.     :rof:    :rof:    
 
 I did my certification through Ocean Encounters at the Lions Dive Resort.  
 
 A four day course from 8 am to 6 pm.  Brutal!!!  but I learned a lot and I'm glad I finally did it.

I didn't see any sharks, but I did see the biggest Barracuda I've ver seen.
 
 There was a huge ball of fish with a barracuda circling around it, he was at least 2 ft long.  I got up real close to him but not too close.     :D
 
 No turtles, no sharks, but I did see a tomb stone down there.  Apparently some dead guy is there.     :eek:

I'm glad I didn't see a shark.  The tomb stone was bad enough.     :eek:
 
 I found out later that the guy who owned the land and dive shop had died, and they cremated him in his wetsuit and dive gear and buried his ashes in the ocean.  They put up the tomb stone to mark the spot.  It had his name, dates etc on it.
 
 Quite eerie.  
 
 The coral and the fish were amazing!!!!  I've never seen anything like it snorkelling before.  
 
 I was hoping to see some dolphins again, but they never showed up.

Flipper was busy this trip.     :D
 
 The dive shop was part of the marine park.  They did offer dolphin dives for $180 US.
 
 They would take two of the trained dolphins out into the open ocean and you got to dive with them.
 
 Not quite the same as the wild dolphins.
