Today was definitely the most tired I’ve been since arriving in Jamaica, and this statement will surely change by tomorrows end. All of this exhaustion most likely came from the 5 hours our dive training group spent in the pool today. Our objective was to complete all 5 levels of confined water dive training (pool) by the afternoon so that we would have Monday to begin our open water certification dives. Unfortunately, our schedule was running slow so we only completed about half of the work we had to do in the pool. To compensate for being late, our group will be up and ready to dive at 6:00 A.M. tomorrow morning! Although today was tiresome, there were moments of laughter and relaxation. During dinner there are always two cats that try and steal the food off our plates or scavenge on our leftovers. This evening one of them got too carried away when going after leftovers in the garbage and tipped the can over on top of himself! He continued to do this multiple times while I assisted in lifting the can off his head. This was definitely the best part of the day. Got to go though, I have to be awake at 6:00 A.M tomorrow :/.

If you look closely there is a lionfish under this coral outcrop.
