Caye Culker
Hi all
I have just spent the last hour trying to publish something on the blog but to no avail. I think the connections here are a little dodgy. Anyway, we are in Caye Culker at the moment which is a little island not far from Belize City. It has a population of about 800 people and you can walk from one end to the other in about 5 mins. It is a major change from Guatemala. Everything here is different. Obviously the language, as they speak English in Belize and Mayan or Spanish in Guatemala, but also the culture and food. You really know you have made it to the Carribean. Everyone is very friendly and chilled out.
Degs has arrived from St Georges Key where he is teaching the British Army to dive, and he has taken us on our open water diving course. Ben took to it like a natural but as predicted I was very nervous and spent the first two days shooting to the surface at any given moment - gasping for air. But Degs is incredibly patient and after I got through my first open water dive I loved it. We saw nurse sharks, turtles, sting rays and loads of amazing fish. So we are now officially 'certified' open water divers. It was definitely one of the best things I have ever done.
We went out to celebrate completing the course last night and the boys haven't surfaced yet, so I am going back to the hostel to give them a rocket.
Hope you are all well.

Apparently there are bull sharks here in Costa Rica but I haven´t made it out far enough to spear one yet. But Robbo has been crocodile wrestling....
