IDC Day 2; or, A day at the beach

Had a morning of class today about:

Discover Scuba
Discover Snorkeling
working with children in Bubblemakers, PADI Seal Team, and in general

It's a pretty nice setup. They had coffee and water waiting, along with IDC/UDC mugs that had our names on them.

We finished at 11:30 and I borrowed one of the Staff Instructors in training's tools, and added the SPG onto my reg. I've been meaning to do it for a while, just never did until now, and it'll make my demos a lot easier.

The half of the class that hadn't done skills demos yet had to do them this afternoon. I was planning on checking out a veg restaurant that my classmate, Lorne, and his gf, Tracy, had told me about, but turns out it doesn't officially open til next week. No matter, I'll still be here.

So on a whim I decided to keep on down the road, and ended up making it all the way to the other end of the road/inhabited part of the island. There's a beautiful public beach there, and an awesome bar called Rehab. They'd get a glowing recommendation from me if they hadn't forgotten about my lunch and made me wait an hour and a half. Also, the veggie wrap was literally a tortilla filled with steamed veggies. Odd. But good, cheap, stiff drinks. My new go to here might be rum and lemonade.

Gorgeous, gorgeous spot.

Went for a super short swim after that, then biked back to the apartment. Takes about 15 minutes from one end of the road to the other.

Did all my studying, so I'm well prepared for tomorrow. It'll be my first full day of class. Bring it.

Sunburn was added to a little bit today, but I'm getting better with the heat. Lots of water, cold shower at home.
