Arrived safe and sound yesterday afternoon in Semporna after what we were told was a half hour bus journey but turned into an hour and a half journey. Settled in at Scuba Junkie's dorms, managed to kick the girls from Group 2 out into another hostel by accident. Spent the evening listening to live music in Scuba Junkie's bar with Kali, Caitlin, Andrew W, Findlay and Martin all stepping up to show us their talent. Was good to see Group 2 again and spend the evening telling them horror stories from the jungle, while we were supposed to be in our room revising PADI theory.
Spent a hot and stuffy day inside the bar watching extremely exciting and entertaining PADI videos. Everyone passed the final exam with the lowest score being 43/50! Got kitted up in our wetsuits and fins and met our instructors who are all really cool. Spent time in the markets and the shops and just about everyone has bought themselves a Scuba Junkies tee.
Spending tomorrow and the following day doing dive practise before boating off to what group 2 has told us is paradise. Lynlay's snorkeling with a fiiiiiine instructor all to herself while everyone is diving, don't worry too much though everything we see she'll see too, just not as close :)
We would say we miss you all but there's no time for that because everything here is so amazing.
Love Shona and Lynlay xxxxx

Glad to hear you all passed your theory, although I thought this was meant to be a break from school?! Anyway, enjoy it and remember and spare a thought for those of us stuck at home and tescos Hilary! ;-)

ReplyDeleteHi Ian, Just to let you know, I'm so jealous of you guys, I have just googled Malbul Island and it is as everybody says... Paradise. If you have any pictures left on your camera then take some of that place. Hope you are all having a fab time diving. Can't wait to hear all your stories and (knowing you) seeing other peoples photos
