What Aspects
of the scuba
diving internship did you enjoy most? |
Life on the
boat was great, always a laugh
and hanging out with all the
other divers and living the
easy life....
The dive
shop was cool,
again, sound people, easy
to work with and get along
with. Great social scene
on the island, the people
living there are cool, and
meeting people is easy. Great
craic, always a laugh to
be had.

What
bits of the Diving
Internship did you
find trickiest? |
The
underwater equipment
exchange was a great challenge,
I remember freakin out a
bit at one stage, when
trying to exchange the
tank, but obviously Alex
was right there next to
us. Really enjoyed it though,
wouldn't mind giving it another
go!
Leading dives was
a bit nerve-wracking
at the start. The swim
tests were no problem.
Of course with my ripped
Adonises like torso
I didn't expect any problems.....

|
Did
you visit the Full
Moon Party on neighbouring
Koh
Phangan? |
Carnage, absolute carnage
|
|
Do
you think taking a scuba
diving internship was
a productive gap
year experience? |
Definitely,
gives you leadership experience,
requires you to organise
and assist in safety training
as well as the general
scuba
diving education of
beginners, things like helping
them underwater, using the
equipment and showing them
the huge variety of underwater
life around the island.
Yeah,
a great experience ,
challenging yet rewardable
thoroughly interesting
and exciting training.
|
|
What
will be your next diving adventure? |
Not sure, nothing planned
for the moment but would
like to do some dry-suit
diving at home.
|
| |
Anythind
else you want to add? |
| Yeah,
what am I doing going home
to Ireland ! |
