Took Sarah on her first Dive she really struggled with Thompas gear and the overall weight. She also struggled with putting her fins on. But once in the water she was fine. After i carried her over the rocks! SHe did very well. We went down and i spotted a lobby... I got wrong for not watching her!!
We then carried on with the dive and had a look about was interesting. I towed her along some of the way as she struggled with finning technique. It took her 30mins to get back up to the car, she is'nt the steadiest on her feet.lol I got a cheeky comment off a old lady saying i should be a gentleman and should have carried her! Pfff could hardly carry myself!lol (Thanks Thompa for the lend of yr gear)
