Divemaster = Me

So its done, as of yesterday i am a Divemaster. Its been a good course, taught me a lot both about Scuba diving and how to deal with people, and its been great to get all those dives in the Caribbean. Its also been nice to spend these last couple of months on Utila, to settle down on this island for a while and give myself a break from travelling.
Saying that, i wont be sad to leave when i catch the ferry tomorrow morning- Utila is small, and the places im heading next are large, have much more to see. This is an island with 5 bars, only one of which -Tranquila- is really visited regularly. Ive probably been to that place about 50 times in the last 2 months, nearly as many times as ive been in the water. Itll be good to get back on the road, give myself a little more freedom and the opportunity to start exploring again- that also means that this blog will go back to being updated frequently, pretty pictures will start appearing once again. One more thing, it looks like my plane ticket has been changed- the flight back will probably be leaving Mexico City on the 5th of September, to give myself a couple more weeks out here. Seven months sounds like a long time, but one thing ive realised on this trip is you cant travel slowly enough, you need to be able to give yourself time to really get to know a place. So, itll be a little while longer before i see everyone in Bristol- i hope you all keep well, and remember i will see you again pretty soon. Alasdair
