Living the dream! It’s been fab so far. Weather hasn’t been great but we’ve been kept entertained on no sea days, wine tasting, trips out etc. I’ve been feeding the penguins daily, cage dived with Bronze Whaler sharks and watched Southern Right whales breaching. We’ve also had informative lectures, even one on wine! Loving every minute!

Thanks so much for organising this for me

I’m so sorry that I haven’t gotten back to you earlier… But I guess it proves my point when I say that I’m really enjoying my stay here!! I can’t believe I only have a couple of says left, time flies when you’re having fun I really am having/had the best time, I got to see so many cool things and meet incredible people! Thanks so much for organising this for me.
