PADI Slammed
We're still on Utila.
We've been PADI Slammed. It's what we like to call it when you just keep on going through the PADI system and doing more and more courses (paying more and more). So now, we have done Rescue, Dive Masters (the original Plan) our night and Nitrox specialities, have enrolled in the deep and wreck specialitiesour Assistant instructors course and drum roll please.... are currently 2 days into the week long IDC (instructor development course) soon we will then take the 2 day exam to try and be instructors. Holy Shit. Sorry parents, but i never thought we would end up at this stage. Considering the fact that Mastercard doesn't work in the ATM here it's lucky that i had some cash in the bank. I've had to pay for all the courses and living here for the nearly two months now... i feel pretty poor, but it's nice to know that meagan will have to pay for the rest of the trip... and then some.
Other than that, we haven't been up to much, had our snorkel test the other night and we were both pretty drunk. When you finish your DM the Shop buys you a horrible concoction of shots and you have to drink it through a snorkel. It was fun though, I'll put the photos up soon on the blog.
Well not much else to say right now, will right more when (if) we pass this instructor exam.
take care all

Great to hear from you both again and despite the stalling of the travel it sounds like you will leave with excess weight from all the accreditation certificates!
I was amused by Meagan's comment on your accent - Dad and Kurt did comment after your call!
Take care and enjoy.
Heaps of love
