We arrived in sunny Andros Tuesday afternoon and were greeted by our pleasant and enthusiastic staff wearing their Gapforce shirts. Then we took taxis to our new home away from home in Staniard Creek.
We were all happy to see the ocean as our front yard and were all eager to get started with our diving. Since we arrived we have been going out on snorkel trips and on Thursday some of the
group were fortunate enough to see a whale shark! In doing these trips we are familiarizing ourselves with all the fish we are learning about in fish class and this way when we start collecting data on the reef we are well prepared.
On Saturday we were taken to nearby Rainbow Blue Hole where we did our
swim tests before we begin our Open Water training. So far our days have been filled mostly with great snorkeling,
relaxing on the beach, taking walks in the nearby area, seeing puppies, doing our chores, having fish classes and lectures, watching movies with ocean related topics as well as the PADI Open Water DVD, cooking (challenge for some of us J), eating, and supporting our local bar.
A great start of our adventure!
