| What would you do? not sure if this is the right forum but hear goes For those of you who I've not told...... I managed to blag Oct 06 to mid Jan 07 off work with the intention of visiting my sister in Sydney. I'm being paid by work for most of it and that will just cover the mortgage. Now for the hard bit do I 1. not dive between now and then save up loads of cash and just "bum round stralia"? 2. Was planning on actually finishing the IDC any way so complete that and try and get some teaching whilst out there? 3. Was also planing on getting Trimix DM so complete that and get some technical dive guide work? 4. say sod it ask if possibly I could work for that time instead ofgoing down under but offer to work for free for having mucked themabout? the next question is any body got any contacts in Sydney for either instructing or tech diving day boats/live-abords? Thanks Fin PS Still got 27 days to use before May if any one has a suggestion! |

I know that you can always "work" on one of the live aboards and dive for free. When ashore, stay in a youth hostel. If you don't like the ideas...donate the time to me!
