Well, the moment everyone but me was waiting for. I am now officially a Dive Master! The big moment could not become official until the ordeal of the Snorkel Test was complete however. It started with Lisa making me do the Sweet Sweet dance followed by the Macarena. Lars thought this was girly and rubbish and made me stand on the "stage" and do a Drink/Drugs Briefing in the style of a Dive Briefing off the cuff. Sadly for him and everyone else, I of course, love that kind of shit and was quite happy to be the centre of attention and be funny on stage.
Of course, this was just putting off the inevitable. To give you a clear idea, I had to take three big breaths when the mask and snorkel was on, and by now I cannot breathe through my nose, so when the alcohol arrives through the snorkel, I must drink it all before I can breathe. i am already hyperventilating by this point of course...
All was going not too bad - the video is hilarious and you will see it till you are very bored. But towards the end, Hendrik shouted that Lars was behind me about to pour something else into the snorkel and I completely panicked and let down Scotland and women everywhere by spitting out the last bit...
However, I don't really care, and finished the rest of the whisky and orange quite peacefully from a bucket with a straw. A nice night was had by all.


Congrats!!! I have always wanted to learn. Looks like a great party.
