Hi Everybody,
So what's up in Costa Rica..
Everything is going well for us,
Digby finished his dive master CONGRATULATION!
He was diving everyday and saw lot of rays, eagles rays, reef sharks, bull sharks ( 5m , quite impressive!)
Now he is officialy a dive instructor so it's really cool!
For his birthday present he decided to do an other course: it's basically a certification for dive deeper than 40m and for a longer time: so he will use 2 to 4 air tanks instead of 1.
It's a really hard course and the teacher is a director of PADI and came from US especially for this course.
There are 3 course directors (the highest level of proffesional certification with PADI) with Digby (who has the lowest proffesional level qualification) to follow the course but the 2 others have more than 12000 dives each of experiences!
so Digby is definitely the youngest and least experienced by a long way. (no pressure then to not hold up the class)
But obvisouly he loves this challenge!
Sophie also finally passed her Open Water exam,CONGRATULATION
she really enjoyed this course and saw really nice marine life as sharks and eagles rays too.
Also for her fist lesson in the swimming pool, Digby was the teacher! it's was fun.
Now we are both certified we can dive anywhere only the 2 of us.
The life in Costa Rica is still chill out, the weather is fantastic , sometimes cloudy but really hot.
Sophie went to Playa Hermosa one day, the beach was nice, a change from Coco.
The only thing I have to say is: It's quite hard to be a girl by herself in Costa Rica.
Here it's Latin America and the boys are... boys!
When they see any girl by herself they have to whistle at her or say " hey baby, come with me, my amor, etc...."it's quite annoying after a while.
Also as Digby is diving or busy with his course everyday,Sophie is by herself almost everyday.
And when she go to the beach , the boys are really annoying!
They have to stay next to her and look at her as perverse or talk with her as "i would love to come to France with you, have a girl friend like you , etc.." when she said she got a boyfriend they absolutely don't care!
Even one day she was lying on the beach, reading a book and she realized 3 boys was setting behind her and looking at her in a uncomfortable way.
Basically this behavior is really unpleasant and annoying!
But otherwise we love this place and like spending time with our friends from the dive shop.
Now we are enjoying our last weeks in Latin America !
