We were beyond excited to have our first scuba experience!! We were both a little nervous that we would panic and feel claustrophobic. But we were finally in enough shape, and weren't worried so much about our size and weight, so we went for it!! We went to a short class where we learned about the rules and techniques of basic scuba diving. We then went onto a boat where we saw some others swimming with dolphins, that was fun. And then we dove right in! Once we started to figure out how to adjust our depth, by letting out or taking in deep breaths, we immediately enjoyed ourselves. It was so invigorating and a blast!
They then took us to another area where we did a longer dive. It was amazing to be able to stay under the water, to swim up the canyons, and to be so close to the fish and coral. We even saw two turtles.
To be honest, as I fell behind! But to explain myself....I am always right there by the tour guide. I never have them wait on me, I always try to be the "perfect" pupil if you will. And this time I thought that I would just relax and enjoy myself and stay to the back of the line. Well, apparently I got my group confused with another group, and my instructor tried a few times to get my attention, but I didn't see him. Joe was right by him and told me the story later. But I was absolutely in heaven and oblivious to anything, until at the very end, I saw our instructor waving me in from a distance. He joked around with me and said I need to get certified!
Joe and I both absolutely enjoyed ourselves and knew we needed to get certified and either come back to that place, which would be AMAZING! And/or we needed to go scuba diving somewhere/anywhere else.....Definitely our highlight of our trip. Needless to say we caught the bug!
