so, i had my first 2 boat dives today.
it was great fun looking at all the pretty fishys and stuff. i got myself a disposable underwater camera so *hopefully* i can upload some pictures sometime this weekend.

i saw a couple schools of flat, silver fish, a school of blue fish with yellow fins, lots of angel fish and coral, a huge clam, a yellow starfish that was bigger than i am and a WOBBEGONG -> http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wobbegong

Aussies have the most awesome names for stuff :3

yeah, the dives were FANTASTIC!! the surface time in between the dives, not so much. i got WICKED awful seasickness and spent the whole hour and a half purging over the side of the boat.

once the instructor helped me back into my dive gear and under the water though i felt fine again. spent the ride back to shore curled in the fetal position half under my seat though.

i got stung by a little jellyfish (on the hand) too :3
doesn't hurt though.

FUN FACT: apparently, scuba regulators are designed so you can vomit through them. the instructor told me this... i thought it was gross...





(should i be woried that i think "purge" instead of "vomit" now?)

lol you and my friend amanda would get on so well, she goes diving too.
And when i saw that you said 'purging' instead of 'hurling', i was actually both proud and relieved... proud cause it means you're a true transfan, and relieved to know i'm not the only one in aus switching my sayings for fictional ones :XD:
Now we just have to make the faith in Primus a recognised religion in this country.

and yes. yes we do have the most awesome names for stuff.

I went "oh Primus", the other day, and then "O.o" when I realised that I'd actually said it aloud. Oops. XD

Sounds like fun, all that diving, that is so cool!

Oh wow - WOBBEGONGS are amazing! You do have the most awesome names for things, I'm jealous :D

I think "purge" instead of "vomit" all the time, too - so far I haven't said it out loud, but it's only a matter of time...
