April



It's mid april already. Time seems just to fly by. The dmt's (Jacquie, Conal and Mike) have finished and flown out of the nest. Left is Kala and Chase to take out the divers, but not for long.
They want some new adventures before they too have to go back home.
This is the hard thing living and working in a place like this. The changeover of people.
You get to know so many great people, but one day they have to go back home.

At least we have found a new instructor, Amanda. This is fantastic because she knows most of the divesites here and been on the island for a while already. And she is a very sweet person, and we are sure we will have a good team again.
I have to mention that Mo and Rino still will be helping out. And of course Marcos is here and still the best boatcaptain. So there will still be familiar faces around at the shop.

Cruiseship season is slowing down. Less ships coming in now untill fall. Last week we had a couple a taxidriver brought in. They loved the diving and are planning to come back later this year for a week. Well now they for sure have to, because in the hurry after the dives to get back to the ship in time, they forgot their regulators...
At least they got our flyer so they can contact us. So far they haven't. The cruiseships charge up to $1 pr minute for internet use.

Updates on Marquito.
Today when Marcos was getting the boat ready for the night a phonecall came from Carmen, who is still in Tegucigalpa with Marquito. Last we talked to her she was hopeful, things looked better. But the message today was Marquitos condition had taken a turn to the worse again.
I saw Marcos out at the boat, hiding his face. I think he was crying or most likely trying not to.

Updates on Lowfat and Molly.
None.

Weather updates.
It wanted to turn ugly today, but the sun won the battle, and the 2 canadians could still do 2 dives today. The sea was a bit bumpy, but now this late afternoon its calm, its sunny and warm.

Life is good.
