Today she has her final dive and exam for her Open water cert. (PADI )

She was sooooo nervous when she left the house this morning and so tired (she was at work with OH last night).

I know she can pass it because the dive school wouldn´t be putting her for it today if they had doubts but her own doubts could cloud the issue.

So fingers crossed xx <3

Good luck to her Uzzi and fingers crossed too. Once she gets down there I am sure she will just be concentrating on all she has been taught and hopefully nerves will take a back seat. Pity she is so tired though, that may not help.

I agree Ann but the only way she could dive yesterday was by staying with OH at work ..they came home at 2am. such is the summer season.
I won´t see either until tomorrow now as she has to stay up there. (and loves it as she is now the mascot potwash)
I just hope it is going well .(cor I am worst than a mother with a new born :-D )

Well done young lady. !

Uzzi
You have given her a wonderful present of these lessons and now her qualification.
Who knows where this will lead on to or how she will be able to use this in future, but what a wonderful opportunity and achievement.
