SCUBA week in Antigua

We’ve been here for about a week, some people are bored, and some are exhausted.  Eric and Nancy have been working on her alternator, Genny, Savannah, and Shane have been slogging through hours and hours of SCUBA elearning, Kyle and Jacob have been trying to catch up on school work, Nancy, Anita, and I have been supervising the kids and ;Topaz, Roy and Marie have been skating through the week on their own.  For Orion’s side of the story see www.crewaudacious.com.

Our biggest issue this week is wifi.  We can get bursts of wifi at the boat.  If I compose and email and press send, sometime during the hour it will go.  The SCUBA elearning requires streaming video, so everyday we would have to take the kids to a hostel, the dive shop or the bar on the pier and use their wifi.  In fact that’s were Nancy and I are spending this morning trying to get our blog posts out.  You all get two today :)

As the kids were preparing for their first dive Nancy and I figured it would  be a good idea to ‘blow some bubbles’ and test out the equipment.  We have two complete functioning sets of gear, this summer we’ll be in the market for a few more pieces and parts.

The next morning Anita used the gear to do a beach dive with the class.  The kids learned to put their gear together, clear their mask and regulator, checked out their weight system and buoyancy, and get comfortable breathing off the regulator.

We dove just outside the harbor from our boats.  Don picked up and dropped us off at our boats.  One more dive on Monday and they should be certified.

Now that the work is almost finished we’re making our plans for a little fun.
