I Love Diving

I Just finished my first ever scuba dive here on whale island. It was amazing and everyone told me that I did great for a beginner. I am going to take the full course so that I can get PADI certified, which will involve a couple of dives over 5 days but then I can dive anywhere I want. The scenery is great here. Our beach bungalow is 10 feet from the shore with jungle right behind us. A storm is rolling in right now that is lighting up the sky brilliantly. This is living. I will get some pictures of whale island posted soon but until then i have some more that I can share from my past stuff so far. Again if its black and white its Charlie's. ENjoy.

SO three of us decided to leave Hue and skip Hoi An all together. We were jsut so damn tired of cities. There is only so many temples and buildings you can see. We wanted to dive and sit by the ocean. My mate Charlie is a certified dive instructor so he will be showing me the ropes and getting me started on diving in a couple hours. As for the trip here is was pretty long and intense. We left Hue at 2pm yesterday and took a shitty ass hot ad uncomfortable bus to Hoi An before we were able to switch to our sleeper bus for the 14 hour overnight trip to Nha trang. Charlie got sick and threw up on the side of the road while me and Kate laughed. After that one of the ladies on the bus started to dry heave into a plastic bag which was pretty disgusting but so funny that I actually almost pissed in my pants. After Nha Trang we took a two hour drive and a small boat ride to Whale Island.It is small and the only resort on the island. Absolutely Beautiful. In about a hour we will start wokring on getting me prepared for diving and then its into the water. Ill update you later on that and bring you some pictures.
