I rode a submarine over there, it was a pretty ****ing nice ride (all things considered), but took more than 22 hours... So the whole jet-lag thing didn't bother me, and once there, it was AWESOME. For me it was so awesome I thought it was a vacation! Without a doubt some of the best diving I've ever done (work and free time diving), and the Aussie divers are kick-ass. Hell, their whole ****ing Navy is awesome, they skip a LOT of bullshit... All I can say is when Aussie Navy divers (even their surface navy divers!!) take you out drinking, life is good... And perhaps the most awesome thing from that event, since we knew we were going, I took my surfboard. Go from surfing East Cost waves to surfing in Australia and you go from small-time to the big-time in one experience. it wasn't Australia's biggest surf by far, but it was ****ing awesome....
We worked with the Aussies for nearly two months, and it was AWESOME. God they're awesome people!
