The scuba diving was bad. The waves were getting large so they were only going to do the deep water dive. We all got in the ocean, but I couldn’t equalize fast enough going down, and I was told to leave the pool.

When the others came back, I kept hearing about how it was the greatest dive ever. A tame sea turtle came up and allowed itself to be touched.

My consolation prize was that some dolphins swam with the dive boat. I got to see them leaping from the water in front of it.

Veronica was in a different boat. She was taking the training course.
