You probably couldn’t see much in the water anyways.

Unfortunately, our last full day here in Jamaica will not start off with a 7AM dive for the second day in a row, due to less than ideal conditions. Sure, we were spoiled this entire trip with beautiful, windless, and cloudless days for the majority of our stay, but it still hurts a little that I can’t get one more taste of life underwater (actually tasting saltwater may not be as missed). As groggy as I may have been waking up at 6AM, cruising on a boat and giant striding into the blue became contagious. Diving was just another routine for us here, and getting to experience breathing at 60 feet below the surface is something I don’t think I’ll forget any time soon.

Jamaica, it’s been real. Thank you for experiences of a lifetime, and sharing a portion of what you have to offer on and below the surface. I’ll be sure to escape the cold of New York as soon as I can.
