You should always be alert when diving…
I just had this picture forwarded to me from my diving buddy. One of his friends took the shot on the Sunabe Seawall, near Chatan in central Okinawa. Even 60 years on, some remnants and dangers of WWII remain.
Just goes to show that you should always be alert and never complacent when diving. You never know what you will encounter under the waves. But surely this opens up the chance for me to make a PADI distinctive specialty course to teach students; anyone for an Underwater Minesweeper certification?!



Dave,
Finally you’re starting to see the light regarding the PADI Disctinctive Specs!
Not busy at work recently?
The huge number of articles gives me away! The new school year is about to start here, which means no students and absolutely nothing for me to do. Days are long and involve clock-watching from about 10am when I realise I have no work to be getting on with.
But I am heading up to the mainland this evening, and am looking forward to my trip. How are things going with you?
Just finished another IDC with two candidates and we’re going over to Koh Tao for the IE on 10th April.
Today we’ll be doing some egg colouring for tomorrows Easter egg hunt in our garden, with our kids and assorted friends and family. An event they look forward to, weeks before it’s due.
13th April, Songkran day, Thailands New Year, an event not to be missed, loads of fun, by everybody throwing water over and at each other all day long.
At the end of the month, it’s up to Bangkok for the Adex dive show. Have you heard of that, ahum
