Back at an Old time favorite: las Eras

Sunday evening, 19:44 @ the Aberdeen. Thats where i am writing my second blog. I just gave DVD-guy a lovely smile and am in full concentration mode right now. Today the dive shop was closed so everyone got their well- needed day off! So far ive been awake between 10 and 13 and spend the rest of the day in a semi-comatized state, not able to eat, drink or even keep my eyes open!
Guess i was in definite need of a day off... the strange weather and hot wind of the last days definatly didnt make our job easy!
Aquatic Life in Tenerife

Highlight of this second week definitly was going back to my favourite dive site here in Tenerife: las Eras! Last year i had my best deep dive ever there, which got me very excited going back. However when we arrived there, we realised a not to be named Mexican / US intern bundled the wrong wet suit for Frankie, the big boss` daughter so me and frankie were forced to skip the first dive and go back on a girls-only-road trip to the shop in search for a wet suit that actually "fits a well developed 14yo girl with boobs" (quoting frankz on that!!).

Of course, as always in these kind of situations, the dive we missed out on, turned out to be the dive of the Century! Im pretty sure the other interns will tell all about it in their blogs.

The second dive however was great fun aswell, like last year there was an extremely strong current swimming back. Luckily ive been attempting the gym he re in Tenerife with melissa and i was able to keep up with her! Im a big fan of challenging conditions that push you just that little bit more, that make you focus more and force you to think, act and controll your breathing, your swimming and your overall ascend. These are in my opinion the situations that you learn from and make you a more experienced PADI Divemaster!

Diving in Tenerife

Last week i also had a couple of good pool sessions. My skills are getting there and also my kit assembly and pre-dive safety check are nearly perfect. Practice is paying off!

20:26 right now and time to go home. Within 8 hours i have to be in the shop again ready for the night dive! You will hear all about it next week!

Regards
Susanne
