Pool opens anywhere from 7am onwards.

Basically the way it goes is this.
- Bell rings.
* If the last thing you did was dive. You go eat
* if the last thing you did was eat. You go dive.

We dived 4 wrecks before breakfast! (in one dive on a scooter), back on the boat by 8:30 drinking fruit juice and having breakfast !!

or 2 dives on Thistlegorm before breakfast

or the Roaslie Moller (I think sister to thistle)

Then once dusk rolls down, a night monkey-dive

Then open up the beer, vodka etc. drink until you cant stand anymore (somehow the russians are still going)
pass out on deck.
wake at 6 in a different dive site.

repeat

it was a fantastic experience!

I am SO looking forward to this trip.

But am I allowed to pass out in my bunk, instead?

Potentially I guess.
heh
sleeping on deck is really nice (bit nippy at 5am though) unless the russians are chainsmoking upwind (again)!
