Thursday May tenth: diving!



Today we (my grandpa, Uncle Dave, and I) went to Ulua Beach and did dive skills and swimming under water to get my dive certification. For the dive skills we took our regulators out under water and placed them back in our mouths, pretended that we ran out of air and used our buddy’s octopus, used our buddy’s octopus to swim to the surface, and swam to the surface without our regulators. While down there I found two starfish.   The first one was the size of the palm of my hand and the second one was the size of the circle made by putting your pointer and thumb together. 

After we swam back to the beach, we went to the dive shop and did our dive exams.  I only got two things wrong, but I passed. 

Next we went to Mama’s Ribs for lunch.  I had chicken and rice with jalapeño soy sauce. After that we just stayed at home (our condo) and relaxed. Tomorrow we are going diving at a shipwreck with turtles. I have been waiting to do this for five years!  The last time we came to Hawaii I was too young to dive so I snorkelled over top of the divers.
