I actually left Semporna?

So I arrived in Semporna 3 weeks ago as a confirmed non diver and I have now left as a trained, if untried (and hopefully remaining that way), Rescue diver, having had heaps of fun getting there in the process.

Not least from the rescue diver course, where I was made to face my fears as well as at times struggling to stop laughing, I can't remember a course that had a more serious message and yet was so much fun I'd do it all again.

I mean it's not often that you see a "panicked diver" being paid a beer for every dunking he gave me (still when it was over, I dunked him back.... somehow I didn't fail the course).

So then it was time to decide where next, and every time I look at a town based visit I can feel myself wanting to go to sleep, but for the moment, I am in KL again as I am seeing a cousin of mine in a few days and I needed to go shopping  - no honestly I did!

Still I am planning the next 3 weeks of travel in Peninsula Malaysia to try and see all that I can see in that time, including another Dive site (Well would be silly not to dive.....)

And after the 3 weeks?

Well, before I left Semporna I was asked if I was interested in doing my Divemaster course, although I don't feel totally ready for it, one of the instructors and a very good Divemaster (who is about to train as an instructor) think I am... so you guessed it, after 3 weeks I will be back in Semporna for 2 or so months training for the next qualification.

So from the 20th June I will have a temporary address while I train/work for my divemaster qualification, so those on the Postcard schedule will find it goes quiet for a while (I can hear you cheering) and also the blog entries will slow down alot (now I hear the rest of you cheering :p)

Of course, that means I have to re-work my travelling plans, so I am working out what countries/places I need to drop from my original thoughts, if I was rich etc then I would just extend my travels, but alas, I didn't win the lottery before I left the UK!

I won't be posting an update on KL as, well been there done that, only came back to see my cousin and shop!

There are no piccies here, forgot to take any of Semporna this time, but I will finish this by saying, if you want to learn to dive, then come on it, the waters warm (28 degrees!)..........
