Massive disappointment
17 May 2018
I enrolled on a PADI open water diving course, it has been something I have wanted to do for many years. They gave me two books to study, which I had 2 days to wade my way through 260 pages, along with lots of self marked quizzes. I was told to turn up at 09:00 🕘 on Tuesday, I arrived at my time then filled in my enrolment and medical questionnaire, I then sat down to over 6 hours of videos. At the end of my death by video, I started to don my wet suit and get ready for my first dive, only to be told that I could not go any further because I am a diabetic. Now to say I am peed off is an understatement, My wallet is light by 100 dollars, but more importantly for me, is I will miss out on one of my bucket list which is to dive the blue hole, it is rated by other divers as the number 1 dive site if not in the world 🌍 then definitely in the Caribbean, I missed it this time so I'll just have to come back this way in the future.
I went to the gents in the sports bar, straight in front of me written on the wall was "Matt & Lee working hard DST Leconfield" the walls in the whole bar have writings on, so I wonder why they used the gents. (For those who don't know I once worked at DST) as they say it's is a small world.
