Talking what would you do?

not sure if this is the right forum but hear goes

For those of you who I've not told......

I managed to blag Oct 06 to mid Jan 07 off work with the intenetion of visiting my sister in Sydney.

I'm being paid by work for most of it and that will just cover the mortgage.

Now for the hard bit do I

1. not dive between now and then save up loads of cash and just "bum round stralia"?

2. Was planning on actually finishing the IDC any way so complete that and try and get some teaching whilst out there?

3. Was also planing on getting Trimix DM so complete that and get some technical dive guide work?

4. say sod it ask if possibly I could work for that time instead of going down under but offer to work for free for having mucked them about?


the next question is any body got any contacts in Sydney for either instructing or tech diving day boats/live-abords?

Thanks

Fin

PS

Still got 27 days to use before May if any one has a suggestion!

Pro-dive's Manly store were beginning to build up their Tech capability a year ago.

Also try here: www.dive-oz.com.au

It's the Aus YD and they can probably help a fair bit.

I'm not sure I got the best deal! I'm doing the hours over the year so banging out 70-80 hr weeks at the moment :-(

Wed was a nice early night home and good to have 3% of Classic KISS owners round!

Ah, you did not say that.
70-80 hour weeks, plus the work on the house leaves little time for diving, even if you had the money
