Oh yes, I was working!

When I wasn't on my last dive dive dive trip I did manage to do some work - and some! A typical day was long and one that has you constantly on the go, always on your feet and always having to be happy and smiley to serve the guests, with the only reprieve a dive in the afternoon where you could shut out everything and at times be the only person in the ocean as you took your dive between the guests taking theirs. Although the work is hard and continuous the crew are a great bunch of people and you could have a lot of fun throughout the day. Some guests are fun and some not so much, which could make a big difference between having a fantastic trip and having a trip where you just wanted to stay out of all the guests way and not talk to any one of them - which is near on impossible. Am I a natural server? Hell no! Did I manage to do it? Sure! I have learnt a lot about how to deal with people and observed a great number of ways of how other people interact and how people go about trying to get what they want for themselves - and am amazed at how some people just aren't continuously being punched on the nose :-)
