Day 160 April 18th 2007, Toothpaste - Cairns - PADI Course Day 2

After our second pool lesson - great fun taking your mask of and replacing it under water, we headed off for a tour of the dive shop. As with any sport that has anything to do with water its easy to spend a fortune in a few minutes. Given that we would have to carry anything we brought around the rest of the world (Our very strict German Instructor Steffen didn't see the problem with carrying flippers, wetsuit and everything else you need round South East Asia) I escaped from the shop with just a mask and instructions about covering the glass with toothpaste and then spitting in it to keep it clear.

The day finished with a final exam which both myself and Shelley cruised through, phew!!

Highlights: No more pool off to the Ocean tomorrow
