Finally some pictures! We have been so greatly enjoying our time here. Kelly and I are now official scuba divers. We finished our Open Water Dive Certification a few days ago. When we got here, we weren't even sure if we were going to dive at all, and now after spending so many days exploring the reefs deep below the waters surface, we can't imagine ever passing it up.
The reef is vast and gorgeous. Completely wait less, we flew through this utterly foreign world to us and perpetually found ourselves speechless and blown away by the continual new wonders. We dove with eels, turtles, and more fish that I ever imagined.



Lion Fish! While diving one day a few guys with us speared an epic amount of Lion Fish. These are extremely poisonous fish, and my friend got stung and his hand swelled. Very painful. These are our instructors and people from our dive shop. We filleted the fish and made lion fish sushi!

These are some of the teachers we have grown so close to. Great people. We are heading away from the island in a few days and heading with all of them to Guatemala for Thanksgiving.

This is a conch I pulled up while free diving. The size of my head! I sauteed it up and Kelly and I enjoyed FRESH grub.

Now on to new places and new things...
