Day 4: We went snorkeling today but the current was too strong to take the bowler out and get pictures. When we got back, we took a few funny pictures in the pool at the hotel. The Bowler decided he wanted to climb up a tree and get a good look at the ocean. I got a few really good pictures of the sea life while snorkeling. I am still getting a feel for this mask / camera. It is very hard to line up shots with it. Tomorrow is Scuba diving so there will be some great pictures! |
Day 5: We woke up early today and ate breakfast at the hotel. I was excited because I am finally going to get to scuba dive which is something I’ve never gotten to do before. I put the bowler in my pocket and we drove to the Holiday Inn where we were meeting our trainers (Jason and Heather). We met them at the Holiday Inn pool and they showed us how to put together our scuba gear. We got into the pool and they showed us to use the respirator. They also taught us to clear our mask from being full of water, how to get your respirator back in your mouth if it were to be knocked out somehow, and how to tell another diver if you are out of air. We took a lunch break and met the trainers again later in the day to do the real thing.
| We got onto the scuba boat with about 15 other people and the captain took us to the first dive site. We went down to about 30 feet (the bottom) to see the coral. Heather and Jason showed us around and took us to some cool stuff underwater. There was a ton of fish, lobsters, and eels all around us. The first dive lasted about 45 or 50 mins. I was running low on air so we had to go back to the surface. We all loaded up in the boat again and went to the 2nd dive site. |

We went through the same procedure again and saw some more cool stuff. I took the bowler out and got some amazing underwater pictures. After we were done diving, we got back on the boat. It was by far the most fun thing I’ve ever done on vacation. On the way back to the dock, the bowler found himself a girlfriend.  |
| Day 6: Today is the last day of vacation and it is sad. I will be happy to get home though. I went fishing today and caught a 25 pound Kingfish. About 10 minutes later, my brother caught a giant barracuda. We ended up having a ton of fun on vacation this year. The bowler had lots of good pictures and has now been to the entire Keys. Everywhere from Islamorada to Key West.
