This week the weather has been good so we’ve done a lot of diving. The rescue divers have all gained their rescue qualifications and we’ve done a lot of survey dives so we’ve gone to a number of different dive sites and have been able to see more of the reefs around Andros. On Wednesday we all went on a fun dive and spent half an hour stealing each other’s fins underwater, and so using our air much faster than normal! On Friday most of us hitchhiked to Nicholl’s Town in the North of the island and spent the day there lying on the beach and eating chicken. In the evening we went to Queen’s Park, where the locals go on a Friday evening to dance and drink, and we, of course, threw ourselves into the local way of life. On Saturday we all went to Somerset beach, an absolutely gorgeous beach by AUTEC, the naval base. Some of us walked all the down the beach trying to find an oceanic blue hole we were told about but after a very long walk of making little progress along the beach we turned around, arriving back to find people going out for rides on a mini catamaran, photos of which can be found on Youtube when you look for AUTEC sailing! Only one week left in the Bahamas now, let’s see what happens!
