Enjoying my time before the storm>>>

Well my girlfriend was with me for two weeks at the start of the month, the time went too quickly. We did have a great time, even though I had to work for a lot of it. Climbing Mount Sinai was something I could only really do with her, as I would have never got round to it on my own. Near the end of the stay I took Rach for an intro dive, put on some scuba kit and go for a dive with no formal training basically. These trips usually consist of kitting the person up, getting them in the water then dragging them round by the tank and pointing at fish. They then get out, say it was awesome and sign up for a course. Rach on the other hand was a natural, by the end of the dive she was neutrally buoyant swimming around on her own pointing at fish. She was clearly an amphibious animal in a previous life.
Guiding has been fun for the last couple of weeks, I’ve finally had the chance to use my camera under water but its getting them on the net that’s the problem. I received my official PADI Divemaster card the other and was reminded of what all that effort was for. The problem is I am kind of in the eye of the storm. If you’ve ever seen the film perfect storm then this will make sense. The scene when they are hammering through 50ft waves with no sign of getting through the night. Suddenly the clouds part and shards of sun light stream down with a climes of blue sky. The crew celebrate as they think they’ve made it, just as I have put a lot of effort in to get this level. Then the clouds roll in again, it was merely the eye of the storm and they had a long way to go before the night was through. I am now heading for part two of the journey, taking the steps to become an instructor of the sport I enjoy so much. Just as the crew accepted the sun and enjoyed that moment so I have enjoyed working as a DM and I am now ready for the challenge of becoming an instructor.
