6.4.-10.4.2010 Surin and Richelieu Rock

Jimmy... Undskyld forsinkelsen, men bedre sent end aldrig....

When Tonny, Thomas, Jimmy and Koy arrived at the office, Thomas was a certified diver, Tonny wanted to take an open water course, Jimmy was thinking about it and Koy couldn't even swim.
Now, 4 days later, all of them are certified divers and behave like a fish! Congratulations to everybody!
Maybe you think this was a walk in the park....I can tell you it wasn't:
“Honeeeeeeey I can nooooooot” was an often heard sentence when Koy was reading her book and answering all the questions, but suddenly she was swimming on her on, jumping from the boatdeck and diving, just like this is something she is doing every day since she was born.
Maybe you think the diving with Thomas must have been great, since he was the only customer the divemaster had....I can tell you it wasn't:
Waiting for hours until he was ready on the surface, waiting for hours during the dive until he has taken his 765 pictures, trying not to get killed by a titan triggerfish, explaining him after the dive that there were 2 Harlequin Shrimps and not only one....hard time!
But once we got used to all those circumstances we had a very relaxed and enjoyable trip! Thank you very much for joining us BUT if you do come back, make sure you take enough cigarettes with you!
Koy was writing almost a diary when she was logging her dives, maybe the honeeeys decide to write down what they saw, once they are back in Denmark. So here we go:
Clown Frogfish, White Tip Reef Shark, Napoleon Wrasse, Potatoe Grouper, Giant Moray Eels, Barracudas, Ghost Pipefish, Seahorse, Harlequin Shrimps, Pufferfish, Yellow and Blue Spotted Boxfish, Nudi Branches, Cleaner and Banded Pipefish, Spider Crab, Orang Utan Crab, Hermit Crab, Batfish, Juvenile Shaded Batfish, Blue Spotted and Kuhls Stingray, Peackok Mantis Shrimp, Travellies, Tunas, Trumpetfish, Scribbled Filefish, Sweetlips, Scorpionfish, Lionfish....
For our Instructor and Guide it was the last Trip of this season: Thanks a lot Preben and everybody working for AIDC, once again we had 6 crazy but great months with you! See you soon!
