03 January – The First Day!

The first day!

 

The first full day down here has sure been a packed one! Three lectures, three chances to snorkel (including a night swim), arrangements were made to complete diving certification for those who need it, and three meals each of which included at least one item of food to play the “guess what I’m eating” game! We also received some background on the institution, which little to my knowledge has been around since the 60s, as well as a lecture on some invasive species of the area including Asian tiger shrimp and lionfish. I can’t wait to see what tomorrow brings!!

Just one of the several narrow passes to swim through for the reward of colorful fish and beautiful formations!

  2. Hi Dan,
    Sounds like you are off to a great start! Getting PADI certified will help you explore the area… Don’t chase any ‘cudas this time in tropical waters! Enjoy this wonderful opportunity in Jamaica. Look forward to reading the posts. Love, Mom
