Well, we're finally back in the room, and it's almost eleven, so I'm not going to start a new thread and try to get pictures up and all. Suffice it to say that I survived trial by scooter, had my first experience getting well and truly rolled in the surf at Monastery (and Kevin got to put his rescue skills to good use!), and did a very pleasant hour long night dive at the Breakwater while HBDiveGirl and her buddy were demonstrating either enormous self-confidence or a total lack of good sense by doing their first scooter dive in the dark in a completely unfamiliar dive site . . . and having a ball.
I feel as though I've been run over by a truck -- Three shore dives in a day in doubles will do that to a person. Plus, Rick took the good viz home with him, so I've essentially been diving Cove 2 all day. But it's been fun, and the company has been fabulous (Thank you, Chris, Kevin, and Jonathan, for taking such good care of us!) and we had some really good food in the middle of things, too.
Longer report and pictures (including lurid photographs of me floundering in the sand at Monastery) await tomorrow and a bit more time.
