First boat dive

This morning I arrived at the dive centre at 8am and swept all the floors, as presentation is paramount at the Four Seasons. I then was showed how to use the compressor to fill tanks with air and nitrox. 

As I was doing the 10am orientation dive I got my kit and the guest's kit ready and prepared the forms for them and the briefing. During the dive I did a demonstration of skills and then asked the guests to do them, I did regulator remove and replace, regulator recovery and mask clearing. Then one of the instructors lead the orientation dive around the house reef and I closed it.

In the afternoon I did my first boat dive here.

The highlight of the dive for me was seeing a honeycomb moray eel which was just stunning!
