Diver Diver! Are you OK?!

HAHA! So now I am officially a Rescue Diver. This has been the hardest two days of the trip so far! No doubt.
Today is Sunday... So on Thursday it was the IDC party (Instructor Training), so everyone was getting drunk and swimming and there was a free BBQ. Then we went and bought beer and liquour and came back to my bungalow to watch south park and play ring of fire. Went back to DJL, and got picked up by Mr Noomski and he drove us up his 100m very steep hill to Sunset View. The most amazing view again but rubbish sunset because it was really cloudy. Vince got horrifically drunk and threw up all over the decking so I looked after him. After dropping everyone off at DJL @ about 8 Dave & I took him home then went back. I felt sober, so was bought a beer, 2 jaegermeister shots and a bloody mary. Went swimming for a bit, then apparently had a half hour unresponsive nap on the table before throwing upon Alex's shoes then walking home at about 11pm.
Came in at 10 (which was the worst thing ever) to start my rescue diver theory but basically ended up dying a bit inside so lay down eating crisps until we went out for our skills dive. Rescuing is really hard work and the current was quite strong at Japanese Gardens so it was nightmare getting victims to the boat. I was so dehydrated I kept getting cramp! In the evening we went to Choppers for dinner (half price Thai Food) then Virginia and I went upstairs and fell asleep watching a movie.
In again at 10 to do more theory then went out in the afternoon for a fun dive at Red Rock then did our rescue scenarios. When bascially the DMT's just went missing or were panicked at the surface, or had drowned or had a jelly fish sting.It was such hard work, and really put you under pressure to remember all the skills we'd learnt the day before. So rewarding though! And exhausting.
Went to simple life for dinner, right on the beach, gorgeous sunset. Then went to choppers again and fell asleep for a few hours before heading home.
Did my test today so am fully qualified as a rescue diver, and am going home to sleep now so I feel better to go out tonight.

Awesome :) xxxxx
