Cairns

Self Contained Underwater Breathing Apparatus

-17 °C

Hey ho, made it to Cairns with Andy. Longest travel time yet, the bus ride was about 13 hours. This really is a freakin huge country. Anyways don't have pics to update but I will tomorrow and they'll be of my learning to SCUBA dive!!! I had my first day today and its pretty awesome. Tomorrow we'll be in the pool again and then its 2 days out on the Great Barrier Reef to finish my certification. Andy and Mono went skydiving yesterday and Andy's shute didn't deploy and they had to use the emergency one. They guy had done about 8000 dives and said that it was only the 13th time its happened to him, pretty crazy though huh? I don't think I'll be doin that. My new little baby cousin is quite cute it's a good thing the little ones are gettin more of Nat's side huh? We wouldn't want little Tommies running around... wait thats exactly what we've got!! Anyways congrats again and miss all you guys. Update you with some more pictures tomorrow!
