The weather this weekend is pretty good so I went diving yesterday morning. Got separated from my group because I saw my dive buddy staying behind a bit. But when I saw the others turn a corner and looked back my dive buddy was gone. Then I looked ahead and the others were gone too. Oops!
Good thing I've dived at Garajau many times so I kind of know the area. Still, my heart beat and breathing increased quite a bit. I still had half a tank of air (100 bar) left so no worries about that. Then it was just about making a decision, go left or right around a big rock formation. I knew the anchor line was along the left side somewhere so I opted to go left. Then after maybe 30 seconds I saw bubbles (others divers!) and swam over to them. Turned out to be the 2nd group of divers that was on the same dive boat as my group. Then I looked to my right and saw my own group appear as well. Signalled OK to our dive guide, checked my air (still had 85 bar left) and settled down in terms of heart beat and breathing.
While at the moment of realizing that I was alone I thought "this f*ckin' sucks!" it was a good learning experience. I didn't panic, I kept thinking and made the correct decisions and managed to rejoin the group. Great success! ;-)
Managed to buy tickets for the gig with the old The Gathering line-up:
After talking to Asnida she said she wants to go to London so since the Exivious tour also plays in London we'll probably head there on April 2 or 3. We'll have several days to explore London, catch the Exivious gig on April 4, and hopefully the Bolt Thrower anniversary gig on April 7.
I haven't been to London since 1995 and I don't remember the city being all that great haha. But I'm sure I'll like it more this 2nd time around :-)
