I decided to do the first part of the PADI diving course called Discover Scuba Diving (DSD). I went down to the Calypso Diving Centre and got Phil (whom I took photos of his child) to be my instructor. I did the pool exercises okay and then went off to do an open water dive. We went down 6 meters and it was awesome! I must admit that once I started thinking about all the water above me, I felt I needed to go up to the surface. Had a chat with Phil and we went down again. I can see why diving is so popular around the world.
Anyway, after the dive, I headed over to Samba to take photos of the new owners at sunset and a couple of pics of the bar.
I asked one of the waitresses to stand where the sunset was shining light and took this image.
Brady, one of the new owners of Samba. The bar name will most likely change...
Brady and Shawn. Dylan the 3rd owner wasn't around as he was on company business.
Taken just in front of Samba. ISO 800, 1/30 sec, F1.8.
Hmm... let's sit down and have a beer shall we...
I love that late evening blue sky...
Come on... let's have a beer! 😉

Too nice Gwyn, I think in life, one just has to enjoy themselves and do whatever makes them happy. The Kiwis have always been adventureres, and these guys are an example. Life will be awesome for these guys…. Great photos again…
Thanks Barry. I used my 28mm F1.8 lens which I’m glad I brought along. I’ve not used it much, but in low light conditions, it is so handy!! The DOF is not great… But at least I could got something between 1/30 sec to 1/60 sec @ ISO 800. Wish I was staying here for longer…
