Got two scuba dives in today. I'm exhausted. Had some serious stuff go down involving someone diving unsafe in my group and getting banished from the boat, the worst situation i've ever been in scuba diving, and having to board a rescue boat.

Yet diving remains one of my most favorite things in the world to do. And every disaster I learn an enormous amount from, and the second dive today was terrific. I'll write soon. Need sleep so bad. My insomnia cure: diving.

I know I said I'd miss some people in Melbourne, but I just want to say thanks to those people who were really helpful and friendly so graciously to a stranger like myself.

Especially Jemma.

with that i'm going to collapse into a deep slumber feeling like i'm still underwater... one more day in perth, then japan.
