Today we went on a boat to an island to go scuba diving and it was so fun. We had to walk across mud flats to get to a little red boat and on the way in the boat through the mangroves, we hit the bottom more then a couple times. Dad had to get out and push the boat sometimes over the mud flats but when we got out to the real boat that had all the gear on it we were sailing like a bird.
When we got out to the island I put on all of my scuba gear. It was very heavy, but then when I jumped off the bulwarks into the water I couldn’t feel it at all. Dad and Helen with their snorkle gear went in one direction and Greg ( my dive instructor ) and I went in the other direction.
He let all the air out of my BCD( bouyancy control device ) and we both slowly sank to the bottom. We went down 7 meters into sand and he slowly showed me how to control my regulator and other pieces of my equipment.
After this, we stood up and walked a little bit along the bottom but then we started to float so we let some air out of our BCD and swam along the bottom. While we did that, I was playing around with my BCD and floating around Greg. Afterwards, we explored the coral reef and this was one of the best places that we will go on this trip. The amount of living coral was amazing!!!!!!!! We spent an hour under water and it felt like it was only 15 minutes.
When we got back on board, we had lunch and then went to another place around the point to do some more snorkling.
When we got there, I jumped off the roof of the boat and did it another million times with smiles and laughter. This other place was good but it was really deep there so it would have been better if I was scuba diving.
All three of us had a great time, and can’t wait until August in Belize when we get our open water certificates.
BON VOYAGE…. See you later after I have a good nights sleep. YAAAAAAWN!!!!
