Today is the last full day of diving. This has been a great trip but not so
relaxing really. I wish I could keep up
with my pictures better. I hope that
upgrading to a new faster software/hardware will help that!
Today Graham gave me an underwater scooter ride. I was hanging out hovering motionless and he
just took my fins and pushed me like 20 yards or so off to the next
nudibranch. I didn’t move a muscle. Hilarious.
Now that’s service!
Jayne told me even more interesting stories. She was an early guest of Wakatobi (an Indonesian
resort I myself went to in February 2011).
It was pretty rustic then and I guess wherever the guests hung their
wetsuits wasn’t all that sterile. Jayne
had a cut on her arm and flesh eating bacteria got into it. Ugh.
She had several surgeries and has a scar on her arm. It must have been pretty scary. But fear doesn’t hold Jayne back from all of
her diving trips over to Indonesia! She’s
who I want to be when I grow up. J
