Update!

Well! today i went on the boat i'll be working on for the next 3 months,
just to get a feel for how they do things etc. if im totally honest, it was
kinda wank! the boat's huge, and has an average of 200-300 passengers.

the smaller boats have about 17-24 passengers! they're much better for me, i like the fact its a little more personal in terms of talking to staff and
customers. but the gits didnt give me a choice in the boat im going on. im
gonna ask if there's any space of another boat, but its unlikely. at least
if someone on the smaller boat wants to change for any reason, they'll know im interested.

The past 6 days i have been diving on 1 of the smaller boats called
Silverswift, which is an awesome boat. i love it on there! the people are
really nice, and i like the way the boat runs. the dive supervisor has
actually been letting me on the boat for the staff price of $27 (rather than
$50 the school charges me!), in return for me helping to set up kit and
cleaning a little at the end of the day, which im more than happy to do.
hopefully this'll put me in good stead for any positions that may come up in 3 months. they'll know how keen i am and how good i am. fingers crossed.

other news: my tan is coming along quite nicely, and for the first time in
my life, i havent burnt within the first few days! hope you're all enjoying
the cold and rain over there! ;o)
i have 1 more week in cairns before i move up to port douglas for my
internship, so i'll probably write next time when im up there! x

ps. i dont know why its set the text like that!

It is because you use email to post it. It picks up the 'line breaks' from your email and simply copies them here. Complicated? I will correct it for you.
