Under the Sea...Down Where it's Wetter

The group in Belize has been able to communicate with us regularly.  If you are following the Lawrence Academy Facebook page, then you've probably read some of their posts about coconut grinding, practice diving, and discovering giant hermit crabs!

Grinding coconut

Day 7 at South Water Caye, Belize

Today (Saturday) was our second time scuba diving and we did confined water dive at about 14 feet. We did some skills under the water, starting from the oral inflation of the BCD to cramp removals, but most of the people found it the most difficult to swim 30 feet without the masks. Luckily, everybody passed the swimming test!

We caught a hermit crab just off the shore of the island. Also, we found a mollusk and the cooks made us ceviche on the spot. Tomorrow, we will go on our first open water dive at 25 feet!! And on Wednesday we will do our final dive at around 60 feet and observe the second largest coral reef in the world.
