Josh tried scuba for the first time on this trip. I think he would have enjoyed it more if he had tried it in the pool first. He was able to give it a try for a little bit while doing an Adventure Scuba program. Here he is getting suited up.

Amanda is much more comfortable in the water than I am even though I have a couple more dives in than she does.

Josh full of smiles as we’re getting ready to take the refresher course for us and the intro course for him.

Tim and Amanda have each gone diving 2x. Josh and I did one partial dive and then I forfeited my 2nd dive to sit out with him. Amanda, Emily, Tim, and I are each open water certified. You have to log quite a few more dives before you can advance to advanced open water divers. It’ll take us awhile!

I bet you saw some great things on these dives. We used to see awesome coral and fish and we didn’t “scuba” dive…just snorkeled in the Philippines.

I see your Dad and brother….Are Tim’s folks along too or just your folks? Are your folks enjoying the beaches with you?

Tonight’s game against Skyview was quite intense right up until the very last second!  Each team was back and forth all night taking the lead and slipping behind by a few.  The last minute continued in this same way.  In the last 8 seconds we were behind by 1 point …
