From the Trainee Matthew Seaton 10/04/06

Today was pretty good. Our last diving site. I'm looking forward to getting my open water diving certificate. This will be my last day on the boat. It has been 5 weeks out on the sea. It was a beautiful day. It has been a great meeting all the crew and working with them. We have been learning how to drive the boat, do research about coral bleaching with the GBRMPA teams and what happened on the reef when the cyclone damaged it last month.

When I get home I'm gonna tell my mum how it was on the trip. It was a good thing to do. Today I had my interview with the film crew. I was a little bit nervous when they first filmed me but I got used to it. Tonight they have asked me to do some of my dance for the film. It is going to be good. Too good. The deck hand work was pretty hard to do but I got used to doing it and now I'm pretty good at it.

When I go home I' got a new job planting green tropicals up in the Cardwell range. Tomorrow we sail back down to Cairns and we gonna have the break up party. I'm looking forward to next time,maybe I might go out on to the sea again. The weather was pretty bad earlier but the last few days its been good and that's it.
