Scuba Diving with Friends!!

Nom, nom, nom

I know how to scuba dive! Yay! 

Ryan and I and the other two couples that we’re friends with (Jon & Krystal, Allison & Phillip) did a resort course in the pool a few weeks ago. 

And I thought it was so stupid. Inflating the air vest… was an incredible push-up bra (soooo embarrassing). The pool water was so, SO disgusting—one can see every single floating thing with the mask. I found an old bandage floating around during a practice. 

And just when I thought I acquired MRSA, the instructors declared the pool course completed and herded us all up into a big motorboat and zipped us to Dragon Bay for a shallow dive.

And the dive was incredible!

Off to Dragon Bay

The breathing became very natural and everything slowed down to a meditative speed. Our instructor found a large, soft sea cucumber that we all glided our fingers against. We saw a yellow eel, all kinds of colorful fish. It was such an amazing experience! The dive also helped improve my snorkeling skills.

We didn’t get back until 4, and none of us had had any food since before 11 o’clock that morning. Although we had a phenomenal day on the boat and in the water, the men were repressing how hangry (hungry-angry) they were and us girls were a little spacey and loopy.

After the dive, walking to food

We desperately stumbled into De Big Fish for lunch-dinner.

Daresay it was the best meal we’ve ever had! Satiation can be pretty intoxicating.

We had such a fun time!
