Tsunami Story 2
We met another Dive Instructor on our Visa run called Nick. He is from Holland and has been free lanceing over here for 7 years. He told us his story about the Tsunami on Koh Lanta.
He runs Open Water Padi courses, which involve 4 proper dives and a morning either in the swimming pool, or in shallow water in the sea doing excercises such as removing your mask etc.
On December the 26th he was running a course and took his students out into shallow water just off the beach to do their excercises. You all neal (how the hell is that spealt) on the sand about 3m underwater in a semi circle around the instructor and copy what he does.
Everything was going well when suddenly all the water drains from the ocean and Nick is left with 5 divers nealt (neeled, nelt?) on the floor not in the sea anymore but on dry land, it must of looked pretty funny, but even funnier to be there.
Nick realises that the sea draining dry can't be a good sign and yells at his class to dump thier tanks and run like hell to the mountain. They were all pretty quick and very lucky as they just made it to safe ground just as the first wave demolished the beach where they had been seconds ago.

It's spelt 'kneel', but I wouldn't worry about spelling too much ... just keep writing. You are doing a brilliant job.
