Wednesday, March 2nd

Sorry there was no post yesterday; it was a busy day.  All but one of our Open Water students finished their certification in the morning and then they all had a nice afternoon dive where they got a chance to enjoy the reef as certified divers and try their hand at underwater photography.  The students took amazing pictures and we will try to post some tomorrow, but trust us they were great!  Then they got a chance to do a little shopping before we went out for yet another excellent meal.  A few students even purchased some coconut milk which involves a chilled coconut being cut open with a machete and a straw inserted for drinking the delicious milk... mmmm!

Today our last open water diver finished up her training and now EVERYONE is officially certified!!  That makes 13 PADI Open Water Divers and 4 PADI Advanced Divers.... Congratulations to all our certified divers!!!  

All the students dove together today.   On their first dive they either took more underwater photos or completed a science dive.   For the science dive they observed a small section of the reef for about 15 minutes and as a buddy pair one student sketched the area of the reef and the other observed all the fish that came in an out of the section and what they were doing.  This helped them to see the smaller things happening in the reef and how the fish and coral interact.
