Success

At 5pm today I finally drew a map of the reef off our beach. It was not the best piece of cartography the world has ever seen but it showed that I could use a compass. And, so, I am now officially a divemaster. Tomorrow we go out to celebrate. It's been a fascinating thing to do, often tough but always enjoyable. Nicely pleased.

My map is of under the blue bit

Now I can relax a while. Simba and Ben are coming next week to do some diving and we may go on some day trips. I'd like to see Valladolid before I leave Mexico and, also, Bacalar, which is further down the coast from here and apparently stunning. Will make a nice couple of outings if we can tear ourselves away from the beach.
