Day 3 of the scuba trip gave the group some time for a slow start in the morning. With projected rough seas in the AM, the group was allowed to spend the morning on the beach with hopes that the strong currents would pass. The students had time to review their Nitrox and Advanced diving handbooks while they relaxed in the sun before a friendly game of soccer broke out and soon turned into a full 3 set match of volleyball!
After a picnic lunch, it was time to pack up the ship with gear and air tanks to head out to the ocean for a deep dive. This was a requirement for the advanced diver training. The seas were rough with 2-5 foot swells as the group headed out to the reef of their 7th dive of the week! Spirits were high as everyone loaded up for the trickiest dive of the week.
During the dive, the students saw 2 8-foot sharks, lion fish, massive lobsters, moray eels, and countless other species of fish. The group perfectly executed a rough water exit and headed back to shore with only one last checkpoint to pass on Thursday to complete their certifications!
