Well managed to get over to Zante for a summer holiday, not intending on going diving while we was there, on the moday we drove through Keri and stopped for a drink. The diver Center was located in the back of it. We got chatting to a couple of there instructors and it turned out that Andy was from Eastbourne just a few miles from where we live.
Well we ended booking a trial dive each the next day, Sarah hadn't done anything like this before but I knew she'd be fine with it.
The next day arrived we had to be at the dive center by 2.00pm so there was no rush to get to the other side of the island. When we arrived at the dive center we were greeted by Steve and Andy and was told they were our instructors for the day, as Tuesday is there turn round day meaning they nadn't much to do, however all the better for us an instructor each.
We got kitted up and walked across the road onto the beach and then into the sea, it was a cool 21 degs. We got to waist deep placed on the mask and regulator in the mouthand took a few breathes of air whilst putting my head under the water, just like I remembered. Sarah had some difficulties doing this as she had never even snorkeled before after about 10 minutes of trying she was going to give up however with a bit more practise she was fine, we split up with and instrustor each . Andy and myself headed out toward the sea, with the seabed slowly dropping awaywe then started to desend to around 5meters. We swam around for around 40 minutes before heading back to the shore to meet up with Sarah and her instructor Steve.
When we got back to the scuba center we had a chat and I asked about the drive trips from the boat, theyt said I'd be ok , Sarah said she was happy just to come to watch. I was soon handing over 50euros for a boat dive the next day.
