under the caribbean sea..

On Monday we went snorkeling.
I've been before and I love it.
Josh had never been before and he loved it too.
I always think it is so neat that you can just stick your head right under the water and see so many different sea creatures right there.










Plus it always makes me want to sing Under the Sea from The Little Mermaid :o)

Since snorkeling went so well, we decided to sign up for the beginner's scuba class & dive for Tuesday.
Our resort offers one free lesson and one free dive for people who aren't scuba certified.


I didn't love it quite like I did snorkeling.
I think because it makes me feel a little more trapped and claustrophobic.
Plus I am paranoid about getting water in my mask while I'm under the water because clearing it out is what I have the biggest problem with.
And if I have a problem under the water, I can't just go immediately to the top.
And that freaks me out.
I know I should just relax and enjoy it, but it freaks me out.
It was still awesome though.
Even though I was ready for it to be done when it was.
But we saw a shark.
That was cool.
It was one of the non-aggressive types {a nurse shark, I think?} so I wasn't even scared.
I could have used a wet suit though.
I was freezing the whole time even though the water was 82 degrees.
Oh well, I'm glad I did it and I'd probably do it again.
I don't know if I will ever get certified though.
