Yep I got a job! 
Well it is only one day a week and when ever else they need me but it is something. I have only worked one day of training and it was only for about 4 hours. It is at a hotel doing reception and basic customer service needs. Seems simple and the place is really cute. The managers that run the place are really nice and fun. I think I am going to like getting out of the house and meeting some new people and hopefully getting to know the island a bit more. I am replacing someone that is moving off the island but he does not leave till the beginning of December, so I don't expect I will be working much till then. And then we leave for Aruba on the 11th so I will really get started when I get back. 

My week continued to be eventful when I got certified in Open Water Scuba Diving. If you think you want to learn to Scuba Dive you need to come to Saba. It is sooo beautiful here. We have a protected marine park around the island so there are a lot of things to see. On my first day I saw Hawksbill turtles, a barracuda, groupers, sargeant major fish and a nurse shark that was about 4 feet long. We swam through canyons and under a tipped over boulder which was covered in coral it was so pretty. My mom would have loved the green tube coral because it matches the green in our cabin she loves. 

The second day was even more fun because I was getting better at controlling my buoyancy and I saw some really neat things. The first dive we saw another turtle, white spotted file fish, queen trigger fish, trumpet fish and lobster. But the highlight, and the scariest part, was the Caribbean reef shark. The day before we looked in a cave and saw a nurse shark that just sat there. But this shark was way more active and bigger then me. It was swimming by us and at one point the visibility was not that good so it seemed like it came out of nowhere. That got my heart racing. Crazy fun experience. 

Our second dive had a few of the same fish but we also saw a stingray. We saw it swim and then try to bury itself in the sand. We also swam over feather dusters that hide when you swim over it was fun to watch. The instructor tried to show me yellow headed jaw fish but they hide in holes and are small so I had trouble seeing them. I did see the hole they dig and surround with rocks and shells. Funny fish. Something else neat about diving around Saba is that in areas if you stick your hand in the sand at the bottom of the ocean it is really warm because Saba is a volcano. 

So as you can tell I had a blast but thought I would not bring a camera too because it would be a bit to much. But Joel and some of the guys next door are a little jealous of my shark sighting so we might go for a dive this weekend. I'll bring the camera if we do. Hope everyone else had a great weekend too!
