Well here I am. I now have a new home. There are two of us beginning our Divemasters together so we decided to get a place together, so Cat and I now have a little house. The house is awesome. It's costing us $400 per month which is just over 100 pounds each, nice. We have a 25 inch TV with cable (so I can watch all the Premiership football), a Hi-Fi with four speakers (and my iPod plugged into it), Air-Conditioning and hot water! This is pretty awesome, and better than any place I had as a student! We also have a fully equiped kitchen, but it's so cheap to eat out here it probably will only find use when we have a party/hangover/christmas.
Utila itself has been awesome, and I already feel like I know about 200 people. Everyone wants to know everyone, and people seem to come to Utila and leave much later than planned (a couple of years later in some cases). This place is awesome basically. We have now completed our Emergency First Responder course, and we're getting closer to finishing our rescue diver course, which is a good laugh. So we will be sworn in as DMT's (DiveMaster Trainees) on friday, and we can begin assisting on courses and leading dives. I am also hoping to get a job at Treetanic (a bar in the trees) I spend most of my evenings there so I may aswell get paid for it!
The weather has been pretty dicey over the past few days as a tropical storm has washed through, but Cat's ear infection has meant we couldn't dive during this time anyway, so we have just been in the classroom ploughing through the theory, hoorah!
Right, I will update every week or so, hope everyone is well.
