It’s been a mixed week – the low points were consistently windy weather, so we only managed one dive (but it was a good one!) and Sarah going home (we miss you!). There have been loads of highs though.
The dive we did was a fun dive: we over-weighted ourselves and went down with no fins on so we could race across the sandy bottom and build human pyramids 20m down!
We kept busy the rest of the time – we had some really interesting lectures from Dani and Ian, the scientists, on Island Formation, History of the Island and Sharks (did you know that Hammerheads have no pain receptors and Nurse Sharks have the most forceful bite?). We visited Pigeon Island and had various competitions such as a Scavenger Hunt and a Dragon’s Den/Shark Tank game, although now, 6 days later, only two inventions are still standing – the shower tidiers and the football goals.
Saturday night’s theme was Disney and it was a really good one – the girls all dressed up as Dalmatians with Siobhan, the camp leader, as Cruella De Vill e. We also had Aladdin and Abu and Peter Pan and Captain Hook!
So, it’s been a busy week and I’ve really enjoyed it – the weather should be great for week 6, so hopefully it will get even busier!
