It’s a nice feeling to step out of a plane straight into over 20 degrees evening. The six of us (Sue, Michael, Patrick, Philip, Gosia and Kuba) arrived into the marina on Saturday tired but happy to be here. Jessy was fine (she still is), so after we boarded we went for a lovely fish in a near restaurant. Next day welcomed us with sun and fresh breeze, so we decided to walk to Puerto del Carmen (nearest town about 3km away) to frighten some tourist from the beach by showing them our white bodies (it worked, the beach deserted as soon as we took off our clothes). Water is about 20 degrees, bit cold but still much warmer than in Adrigole ever…
On Monday Michael, Patrick and Philip started their diving (actually they started on Tuesday after whole day of brainwashing theory the day before) and we (Sue and The Polish) went to the beach and enjoyed the sun for the whole day.
Tuesday was guys first time in the pool and as Michael said “That first breath under water was just amazing”. They covered most of the skills and were ready for the sea…The three of us went diving and we saw some great life including an eagle ray and a huge barracuda.
On Wednesday the guys went for a nice dive into lovely lagoon and after doing some skills they got time off to wonder around and admire fish. Unfortunately Sue’s ear got blocked the day before so this time The Polish only went for their first deep dive (30m). It was most extraordinary experience thanks to George – 5ft long grouper that lets you tickle his chin and rub his side!!! The guys and hopefully recovered Sue are going to do that on Saturday.
Today (Thursday) the guys had two dives in the morning and we (The Polish) joined them for the second one. It was great to see how much they learnt in four days and take some pictures of them. They are now qualified Padi Open Water Divers so they can “meet people, go places, and do things” and they are really looking forward to dive with George. I just came back with lovely blue VW Caddy and we are going for a trip tomorrow to explore the island. We hope to see camels, volcanoes, caves and remote beaches…
Lanzarote, here we come!
