Day 12: the Real Dive

1

Today we finally got in the water and didn’t have any “tests” to do. Paul and I were dive partners again and our group went to Ginger Island. It looked absolutely stunning from on top of the water because the water was just this awesome greenish-blue color. The only thing strange I’ve noticed here is that it doesn’t smell like the ocean at all. The dive was really fun and we saw a triggerfish, angelfish, and the princess parrotfish the triggerfish was extremely rare to see and my dive instructor, Jeff has only seen four before.

Tonight we will go eat at Mad Dog and have a pizza night. I’m really looking forward to tomorrow when we aren’t diving and just hanging out on the beach and snorkeling at the Baths of Virgin Gorda which is what this island is best known for.

T-minus three days until I’m 17!
