GTC - BJ's Check Out Dives

It was a little overcast this morning and we were both pretty tired, but BJ was determined to get certified so we went off to the boat. We did her 3rd and 4th dives. We had another student and the dives were on the north side of the island. These dives were around 50 feet and the fish were amazing!!! We went down to the “pet” groupers. These are about 40lb fish that don’t mind being pet. Brendal even had one in a full fledged hug. It was amazing to see how friendly they were. We went on to some great dives. We went through some caverns; saw a lion fish, a coral banded shrimp, tons of angel fish, sea anemones, a drum fish, a bunch of tarpon, and lots of different kind of corals. BJ got her first kiss under water. It was great, but I was a little nervous about all the grouper that were checking us out. But then again, she has always been an exhibitionist!!

From experience, I can tell you that these are some great waters. I saw more types of sea life in just 2 days than I saw in over 200 dives in Bermuda. I can’t wait to do more diving here. I took a bunch of pictures under water, but we will have to have them developed to post them, so when that happens, we will update this date.
Again, we just ate at the bar with our favorite bartender, Renee. She is not real nice, but she really is nice.

As you can tell, the entries are getting shorter. There is so much to do and see, it is hard to get time to reflect everything (and don’t forget about that work thing), but we will try. Also, sometimes we go days without internet connections, but rest assured we will keep it going.
