This post is entitled, 'Death in Paradise'.
A body was discovered by a bunch of tourist divers this morning immersed in the big briny at one of the more popular dive sites on the island. The victim had apparently gone for an underwater stroll with a backpack stuffed full of rocks, only to discover that his buoyancy had been rather seriously and negatively affected by his baggage. He presumably paused to consider this dilemma only to recall that he required oxygen to continue his journey. His final discovery, belatedly, was that he was in considerable deficit of said oxygen and expired in situ.
I saw the pics from the guy who hauled him out. It looked exactly like that bit in Jaws. You know, one eye hanging out, face half eaten by crabs etc. Incredibly gruesome. Anyway, speculation is that he is a tourist, not a local and his misfortune may have been given an assist by a third party.
I started my PADI diving course today. Theory only to begin with. Tomorrow I get wet.

The water is pretty clear!

Look forward to reading about your PADI via your IPAD as long as you’ve PAID upfront and don’t go all DAPI (not sure this last one worked...)
