7 AM my roommates and I got ready to have brekkie at 7:30. It was scrumptious. After our dive intro, we got to do our first snorkel and OH MY GOSH IT WAS AMAZING. Besides me almost swallowing my weight in water and figuring out my fin and snorkel techniques, IT WAS AMAZEBALLS. I saw so many beautiful creatures, like Condylactis gigantea AKA a giant sea anemone. It’s a stationary invertebrate. My favorite ones were of course the anemones with purple at the ends. Me, Hamburger H., Jello J., Tomato T., and Lime L. all went back to snorkel for a second time after lunch. This is when these great pictures were taken.

A bootiful [Ed: the course instructors do not attempt to correct the hip lingo of the students in the class….] Condylactis gigantea with purple tips on the sea floor. Picture taken by Hamburger H.
