12/6/2006 - The last stand?
Have not quite packed away the dive gear, as there's a opportunity to do some sinkhole diving next weekend. I even booked my flight for Monday afternoon, to give me time to de-gas.... it's not a definite yet, but goodness knows I need some recreational time. I'd rather go diving than get trashed and not remember my last weekend. And I haven't done any "pleasure" sinkhole diving since doing the course, so I'm kinda looking forward to it.... Anyway, althought I'll be sending most of my gear on Friday, I've worked out I could keep my software and hire the rest from the club. EP has kindly offered me the loan of her semidry, since she's in Mexico and has been diving in a rashie and boardies the lucky b h!!! The only thing I'm concerned about is how cold it's going to be. Daily air temperatures are barely topping 14deg and I'd be stoked if the water temp is 12deg. The coldest I've dived in is 12deg in NZ, and could only manage a single dive. Hopefully my skin has thickened in the meantime! Will get an extra jacket from the club, which should help.
Well, only one week to go in this lovely city I've come to call home. Very sad to be leaving, but then so many places to see and much diving to be done....
