Comment:
We are not doing any diving today as the waves are pretty big.
Nods is doing the last day of her Assistant Instructor course and Kim and Vic have finally managed to leave the island after a bit of a chaotic day yesterday. Before going on holiday they decided to take one of the dogs to the vet, as she wasn't very well. Squidders then escaped from the Vet and Kim and Vic spent all afternoon looking for her. When they finally managed to find her, they had missed the ferry! Nevertheless, they are now on their way to Penang to get their Visa for Indonesia!
The weather forcast for tomorrow is looking pretty bad. The wind is gonne be even stronger and the should be some more rain, so we are not planning on doing any diving.
