Back in Mexico after 10 days "home leave" - The picture shows a pregnant bull shark near Playa del Carmen at the so-called "Bullshark Point".
Sunday (01/29/2023) - After a short night (I was in the apartment around midnight) straight back to work - but a very quiet start since we didn't have a boat! So not much has changed in my absence...
Monday - And the difference between planning and reality hasn't gotten any smaller either - but I didn't expect it either! 4 DSD were planned, 2 have come. Those who are very interested in it!
Tuesday - Another quiet day as only 2 divers came and they went diving with my colleague - so I had time to do some paperwork...
Wednesday - oh surprise! On the way back from the 2nd dive I found out: tomorrow I'll be back at my "old" base in Playacar! Of course, that's practical because I'll keep the walking time from now, but then I'll already be at the base and I can cycle the route in 10 minutes! But: "where there is much light, there is strong shadow" (Johann Wolfgang von Goethe, Götz von Berlichingen, Act 1). In Playacar, up to 4 dives per day with up to 8 customers are sometimes very time-driven due to the times for the bullshark dives. (this means that the first dive of the day can sometimes only last a maximum of 35 minutes, otherwise we cannot be at the Bullshark point in time). And the number of dives means for a diving instructor sometimes there is no time for lunch... course
Thursday - starting right away with an AOW (Advanced Open Water) course - Drift Dive and as a 2nd Fish ID (my absolute "strength"!), followed by a refreshment in the pool.
Friday - a bull shark dive! And at the same time a deep dive for the AOW! This time immediately afterwards a refreshment in the pool and then as a 3rd dive with the "pool customer" into the sea
Saturday - wreck dive and navigation (2 separate dives!) for the AOW - and that's the end! Note: Depth and navigation must be done at the AOW, the other 3 dives are theoretically freely selectable - as long as they are offered in the respective dive center! The 3rd dive of the day was an OW course.
TL;DR: I'm going back to my old base and doing more classes in 3 days than I did last month!
