This week I became an officially certified PADI Scuba Diver. The trip has been amazing and I've so far been on 5 different dives while here. A soon as I got certified, I began working towards my advanced certification -- which allows me to safely visit more diverse undersea locations. So far its been an amazing trip and I've seen some incredible things.
On the first day, as part of one of my certification dives, I got to see the Christ of the Deep statue, which was sunk here in 1965.
After that dive, we went to dive off of the wreckage of the Benwood, which was absolutely amazing. The water was super clear and the number of fish we could see was just astounding.
This morning, we had the opportunity to see the Spiegel Grove. It sits in nearly 100 feet of water, so we brought an extra SCUBA instructor along to make sure everything went smoothly. The wreck looked like ancient ruins from our own time, its really amazing how quickly being underwater erodes a perfectly good ship.
The rest of the trip will feature a bunch more dives and a chance to swim with dolphins. I'll absolutely post some pictures of that!
