Down under

Ever wonder what it feels like to have 60 ft of water pressing down on you? Today we finally went scuba diving. The last time I was so excited, after the fact, about something was my first time that I stayed on.
A bike that is.
Captain Keith took us out to two reefs. The first one we had a Grouper that was about 3 feet long, swim up to check us out. We swam through a couple of cave like structures made from coral.
The second dive had us eye ball to mask with a reef shark. All I could hear was the "Jaws" song in my head! He swam right through the middle of us to see what we were up to. All I could do was make sure I didn't look him in the eye. I saw something on the Discovery Channel once on gorilla's. I don't know if it translates to sharks but I figured it wouldn't hurt to try. Save my skinny white butt!
After we got back, captain Keith took us over to another island, Guana Cay, where the bar "Nippers" is located. Lets just say that with the warm Bahamian sun and the Rum Punch flowing, I won't be able to post those pictures. People were having fun, dancing, drinking, exposing parts that don't see the color of the sky that often and we evan had two couples "wrestling" sumo style but without the diapers, in the surf. I guess they were feeling the love.
Time to unwind a little on the boat before we head out for dinner.
We had such a great time scuba diving that we are scheduled to go again tomorrow.
