Diving

---

Tues 24th (Paul still guest blogging)
We headed to Knisner for the wreck scuba dive. It was my first dive since the training course in freezing cold Portsmouth (England). The water was cold compared to what Tamsin had been used to, but it was more than warm enough for me. The wreck was cool to swim around but I was concentrating so much on swimming and breathing that I didnt take as much of it in as I'd liked. Tamsin told me afterwards that she was watching me most of the time as she was worried I was going to zoom up to the surface (only half attempted this 3 or 4 times). T was probably wise to watch me as I almost cut off her air supply when I mistakenly pulled on a hose that I thought was mine. She gave me kick in the face later which made us even.

In the afternoon we went to Natures Valley to go on the zip wires through the forest. The zip wires went from platform to platform and was quite high up in places. T showed no fear and went first most of the time. The zip wires had loads of safety features but it still felt very scarey.

On the evening we stayed at a posh hotel with a few nutty residents. T got told the same story 5 times off a drunk guy about how he helped build a road in Malawi (where Tamsin is going in a few weeks).
