Scuba diving is awesome! After doing four open water dives six of us got certified here in Jamaica. One of our dives we got to look over a reef and peer down to about 100 feet it was so crazy! There were many types of fish but my favorite were a school of large black ones that followed us as we swam down the wall and through an underwater canyon. It is definitely an experience that I will never forget.

Here is Julia going down the wall.

On land, I also got a chance to explore the forest with Megan to find the mangroves that grow partially in the water. We also went snorkeling to try and figure out what lives on the mangrove roots. There I met a feisty little Dusky Damselfish that was guarding his home within in the rocks.

Beautiful Red mangroves (aka Rhizophora mangle) which we were just tested on.

Say cheese!
