On Monday I did my long awaited scuba dive. I opted to go with Maui Dive Shop as they seemed really reputable. We met at 7 and had a little intro course. After getting geared up, we headed out to Wahikuli Beach for our dive. The act of breathing underwater is amazing. It's a little scary at first as you deflate your BCD and sink to the bottom. We all had to do a few tests like filling our masks with water and clearing them and tossing our regulators aside and then recovering them before we drown. We saw some HUGE turtles resting in the sand and a few squid. Unfortunately, it wasn't a great spot so we saw lots of sand but not tons else. All in all, though, it was really cool.
We had a couple of good days with gramps, the best part was probably playing at our own beach, rolling up and down with the waves. Gramps liked watching the kids but didn't really want to go in the water.
We're deciding if we want to go to Lanai with Ocean Rafting. Apparently, several people have seen dolphins. It's the fun trip we did last time so we're tempted. More decisions.
Tomorrow, Thursday, it's off to Hana.

Scuba diving sounds too scary for me - I don't like the thought of not being able to breathe free air at any given moment (I guess I'll never be an astronaut).
Hey I knocked one thing off my bucket list Janice -
Went camping at a place with no showers and really truly enjoyed it!!(Normally I have not looked forward or enjoyed such adventures). I also went off like a 200 foot rope swing - aaaahhhh - but that is a different story...My kids went off it easy-piesy but not me I stood frozen in fear for a good 5 minutes.
Let us know how the ocean rafting goes - we might want to do that - sounds fun.
