We'd want to do two weekends over the month, and then we'd do some "play" practices in the pool, learning the book, etc etc etc to pad out the month, so the blog doesn't go unattended

we could even get DS1 and DS2 some little goggles and have some family play time wading somewhere ...

for the main dives, I think we'll organise them to be with my parents, unless it's overnight ... if it's overnight, I might see if I can bribe my sister or brother to come away with us, and mind the kids wherever we are ... ?

but not going somewhere overnight is by far the preference, as having to rent accommodation might blow the costs (and the logistice) out of the water, excuse the pun

begging, borrowing and stealing are all fine by us!

camera stuff doesn't have to be too high tech, as long as we can get a few pics ...

if you could get some prices from Mr Ocean (I might have to call him Danny...) that would be top

And the fishy is very cute
