Island Sands!
Good to hear from you.How are things?
I am still in Kuwait - never to return. Bad place, bad experiences with work, some good sailing and average diving.No freediving here...
I leave in June and then a new job in the canaries.
Thanks for the help. I will let you know how things go...

Samdive,
Well, it seemed like a giggle. Good job, nice place ,close to home (ish) and great climate and diving. So I now have a 2 year contract on Gran Canaria.
SaltFree subsidiary in Gran Canaria anyone??? Winter training?...
I shall definitely get things going with regards to the freediving there and hope to teach scuba now and again too.
See you in about 5 weeks!
 
Remi,

I hope there is an easyjet flight there as I won't be able to afford much more!!
Hope you can make it over there at some point!
Will see you all again in about 5 weeks (Woo ha!)

Take care mate.
