I Love the Ocean 3 months ago

I have always been fascinated by the ocean. My favorite place on Earth is a clean beach. I started scuba lessons in college, but I tore my ACL in an unrelated activity and was unable to continue (I’m beginning to think that tearing my ACL is the source of many of my problems). I’ve been snorkeling and I love it, but I want to take it to the next level. This is definitely on my “Once I have some money, I’ll…” list.

a whole new world 12 months ago

I find it very intriguing of the underworld we have. The unique creatures and every thing happening beneath the water. Life.. Life on land is something I’m familiar with but it’s so mysterious down there and after snorkling with sharks once and seeing the colorful tropical fishes it just amazes me. I kind of fear the deep dark sea but would love to get into a closer encounter with all the lives under there.

Scuba 13 months ago

Did a mini class in Dominican. Was good, but the snorkeling in the Caymans is better than the diving there…



I'm a certified diver now! 14 months ago

I was certified on Zanzibar island in the Indian Ocean and it was fantastic. The course went well and I was able to dive in the ocean four times during the course (two days of open water diving; two dives per day) and then I went to the best spot on the island for diving and did two dives there after I was certified. If you get certified, definitely go on at least one dive after that. During the course you have to practice skills in the ocean so you can’t enjoy the full dive as much. When you are certified all you do is enjoy yourself! I saw a sea turtle up close resting on coral, one swimming in the distance, billions of colorful tropical fish, a pufferfish, parrotfish, triggarfish, a lobster, two octopi, a sting ray, and we saw dolphins from the boat. Amazing day! Now I can go diving anywhere in the world…



Untitled 15 months ago

Have clocked up 26 dives so far this season. Already certified as a Trainee Diver and only four more dives to go before I can sit the Club Diver Exam.

Bought all my own gear recently and am having the time of my life. Totally addicted now.
