Tonight be my last night here in the beach city that sleeps early. Having completed my open water diving course without drowning, I was given my certification. Hooray! Now I can dive myself up to 18 meters and get my own air tanks filled… oh the possibilites.

Today on our final dive we went down to 25 meters, instead of my 18 meter limit. Ludo said that I was doing well in the water and that I could go the extra depth and it was no problem. Down at 25 meters we saw a shipwreck. A kinda small motorboat that sank for reasons unknown to me. On our way back to a shallower depth I found some sort of seahorse like creature, but it wasn’t really a seahorse. They looked like seahorses, but straightened out and not soo curvy. I’ll have to look ’em up later. When we got out of the water I gave Ludo my ugly ass mugshot of a photo for my certification and then I was left to do whatever I wanted for the rest of my stay here. So I took a nap on the beach with a cool can of pineapple juice, and then later finished off vol 4 of the Saga of Swamp thing.

Tomorrow I’m off to Tel Aviv again, hopefully to meet up with some fellow Canadians before we head off to someplace else together. Probably a short sweet trip somewhere as I’ve suddenly become a pennypincher. It must be something in the water here in Israel. Now that I’ve tasted some of the beachside BBQ corn here, there isn’t much else left to do, so i’m off to wander the streets again before passing out in my very uncomfortable bed.

adios muchachos
