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.
Tim’s showing him how to defog the goggles before we get ready to go out.


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.

Nathan and Emily came to watch us get started. Em decided she didn’t want to do any dives at all on this trip.

Amanda getting geared up.

I think the gear probably weighs almost as much as Josh (LOL)! For those who aren’t divers, this stuff weighs a TON until you get in the water and then you don’t notice the weight.

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!
