Welcome to this week’s casual kōrero thread!
This post will be pinned in this community so you can always find it, and will stay for about a week until replaced by the next one.
It’s for talking about anything that might not justify a full post. For example:
- Something interesting that happened to you
- Something humourous that happened to you
- Something frustrating that happened to you
- A quick question
- A request for recommendations
- Pictures of your pet
- A picture of a cloud that kind of looks like an elephant
- Anything else, there are no rules (except the rule)
So how’s it going?


Still stuck and not moving anywhere. On the bright side we have been getting scuba certified. On the world’s second largest coral reef so it seemed like the right place to do it.
That’s awesome! I’ve only scuba dived once that wasn’t in a pool, and I was barely a teenager, but I have a friend who got certified and has dived all over the world. He loves it, and it sounds like a lot of fun!
Where did you go? It’s definitely worth trying again if you have interest. I never really cared to get certified in the past but it has been absolutely amazing!
I’ve had a opportunity for a couple of dives in a pool, but the one time I did it outside a pool was in Vanuatu when I was on a school trip as a teenager.
My friend did it while on his OE, went diving all around UK and western Europe. Now he lives in SE Asia and has done a bunch of stuff there too. Loves it!
He has no kids, so can do that sort of thing. I haven’t even left the country since my first kid was born!
