Before I tell you all about my dives I have to say something, WOW!!! I adore diving! but I'm so disappointed that I'm not fifteen yet, because I have to be a Jr. diver. That means I can only go down to forty feet and not sixty. What a disappointment.
Okay, Tuesday morning seven a.m. we are all on the dock of Parrots Dive Shop, waiting, and we waited there for a few hours until the Capt. John had the engine running..............wait a moment, this is a motor boat. I've never been in one of these. All I the boats I've ever been in are, a row b., paddle b., and a canoe. So this was a my First time on a motor boat! It was GREAT!!! I love them! I was so made for water! At around ten we did our ten min. swim or float. Then we got back in the boat and put on our mask, snorkel, and fins. Tatiana (witch means fairy queen) said okay who was number one? Well that was me, she said all right, put you weight belt on and jump in. Won't I sink since I have my weight belt on. Yes, you will, that's why when you jump in you will kick up and then straddle the BCD and you will float; so jump in. I was the first one to jump in with my weight belt on! Once we were all in the water we swam to shallower water (since we were in like twenty feet of water) put our BCD on and did forty min. of confined water session. It was really cool about half way through class a little reddish seahorse less than a inch tall came swimming right among us! After our session was over we went on another dive to forty feet, the stuff that I did see was just beautifull and breath taking. but......... I had this little problem, my mask just didn't like to keep the water out, it seemed to really like to be full of water at all times. So during my first dive I became an expert at mask clearing!
My second dive was much more pleasant. My mask love to be dry and keep the water out, if some water got in, it would let me clear it happily. We didn't see as many fish because it was dustier, the sand was kinda stirred up at the bottom. I love dive and I want to go on to be a Jr.adv. diver. This is even a course you could take in college! well that's all for now folks!

P.S.
I wanted to be able to see the wreak sights and dive inside them but they are to deep for my certification.

Ohhhh - that is breathtaking!!!! I'm excited for you Scubie Bonnie. You're like Stephanie - Shallow Pool - thou satisfieth me no longer. You're going to have to dig a DEEP pook in your backyard. Sorry this is short - I am so tired and need a nap - Did you read my email? Billy Goats Gruff and Three Little Kittens are now home safe and sound. Much love and Prayers to you all. Grandma
SEEE - I need a nap - I meant POOL!!! Nite Nite 3:30pm TX Time
Wowzers - it is so exciting to hear about you ALL in the water together...with the amazing other world that God created. Doesn't it feel like you're in a huge (and very clean) aquarium complete with a white gravel floor!? Your instructor sounds marvelous. I didn't learn any cute fun jingles. Bummer. Guess you'll have to "school" me!

OK---now tell me why it is that you all are having such a great adventure and we are here dealing with such things as broken garage doors and triple digit temps?? I want to come dive with you!! It just sounds amazing and, if Stephanie can do it.....maybe.....I could too!! Well....maybe....if I were 40 years younger!!
Keep the great stories coming. They are a highlight of our day.
Lots of love and prayers,
Aunt Becky and Uncle Ed
