GTC - BJ's 1st 2 Dives

We met up with Brendal at 8:30AM for some last minute instruction and gear check out. We went to the south side of the island to a reef that was only about 30 feet. BJ did great!! We were greeted by the local 3 foot barracuda. Her mask did not fit her properly and that aided in her advanced ability to clear her mask. The second dive, she changed her mask out and had a much better dive. Since she is basically the only student, these became great dives. She would have to do her checkout stuff for about 5-10 minutes, and then we would just explore the reefs. We saw quite a few fish including 2 stingrays, 3-4 lobsters, and a plethora of other reef fish. The visibility was about 60 feet, with the water at about 78 degrees. BJ also experienced her first Goombay Smashes that Brendal brings with him. We left the dive center and went and saw some of Brendal’s friends, who are tourists staying in a local house. They extended us great hospitably by offering us some freshly cooked lobster, potatoes, and these great biscuits. After that, we went to sundowners. BJ was done with this day by 9:00PM, so we had Brendal take us back to the dink and went to bed early.
