Bahamas Update - week 3

We started week three by finishing off learning our fish and with a shark lecture by C.J. including some incredible pictures from her experiences including some from the neighboring island of Bimini. Everyone then started learning for the fish test on Friday of course while lying on the beach. We are all now beginning to settle in to the island life.

We completed our PADI Open Water Qualification. We dove at two different dive sites the first called ‘Kateatorium’ where we did two of the dives and saw a great barracuda. Then on Thursday and Friday we dove at ‘Ampi’; where again we saw a barracuda and some stingrays as well as various other fish. We did some underwater fish points with Sam and Jules. On Friday we did our final PADI open water exam and our first land fish test.

On Thursday afternoon we did our second afternoon in school, where shark songs and food web lectures were done as well as small wrestling matches with the manic school kids. On Sunday most people headed up to Jack’s Restaurant to watch the Superbowl. The rest of the week we have been enjoying the sea and beautiful white beach as well as topping up the tans while learning our fish for the next test.
