Ok, quick report (and late) about my trip with Bebecca  to Merimbula Divers Lodge.

Nice place... 3 hours from where we live. It didn't stop rainning one single second... we decided to go as real Scuba Warriors, so we took our German Sheperd Dog with us.

BIG MISTAKE.  Diving + Pregnancy + rain + dog = not good to handle...

I went to Meribula Divers to ask about cost of dives, etc.... so I book a dive for next day. The weather was so crap that I though... "no way..." I'm not diving like this.... . But then I remember the comments of "Gabriel is only a sunny-day-diver" and hell yes! I am...! I learned to Dive in Egypt and Thailand... so that feeling of cold water doesn't work quite well with my southamerican blood. But anyway, the next day I tood a dive with the DM and a OW diver ....

So... murphy Law... I do the descend with the OW diver... and for the first time in my life, the girl decides to panic and do a 100% ESA - Emergency Swimming Ascend. 

I have to confess was exactly like a Text book of "how to die of overlung expansion" ... 6 meters holding breath... no mask... no reg.. screaming underwater. The DM panic a little bit and look at me with that bigs eyes saying: You are the Instructor... help me....

Great. My first fun dive in ages.. and now I need to use PADI relaxation techniques with the girl...

After talking to her, she decided to stop the dive so I went down with the DM.

A nice dive. Max depth 20 MT, not a lot of coral, nice little sharps and a sexy Manta we found in our way.

Time of the Dive: 50 minutes.

I was testing my old first stage from Dahab....and it behave nice. Hard to breath. No generous but like that old pillow that brings you good memories... (strange... I know...)

So globally a nice weekend. the highlight of my weekend: My first encounter with Kangaroos. (Remember: Not many Kangaroos where I come from).

Here are some photos... of me... the bloody cold water... and the 4 Kangaroos in ready-to-jump-position.

Yes mum... I'm in Australia !
