Photos from Uluru and Kata Tjuta
Dustin Frazier on Friday, March 12, 2010 at 4:55AM A quick update before Laura and I hop on a boat and finish up our scuba diving certification course for a couple of days. We’ve uploaded photo albums from our first two days in the Red Center of Australia — Uluru and Kata Tjuta. We really do have some fun highlights to share from our week-long adventure in the outback (some of which don’t even mention flies), but they’re not quite ready for public consumption. Our brains are a little waterlogged from two days in the pool doing exciting things like pretending our air tanks have run out of air, doing underwater acrobatics to remove and replace our BCDs and weight belts, and trying to decipher the hand signals from our PADI instructor Chris (almost as difficult as understanding his Irish accent).
We’ll get the rest of the Outback photos posted when we’re back on dry land, as well as some of the happier highlights from our 4WD adventure. Stay tuned!

PADI is the worst. I was a less than stellar student. Our instructor almost gave up on me. It's friggin ridiculous what they make you do. "And for our next task: emergency response simulation 504(a). Take off your mask, gulp in some saltwater, and pretend you've lost your fins, your BCD, your bathing trunks, and your wife canceling headphones. Recover all of these while keeping your eyes closed. Oh, and there's a shark circling overhead. GO."
In other news... Laura and I passed the written exam with 100% scores, and our entire class just graduated one day early on the boat. PADI rules! :)
