Scuba Diving

Alright. You see? I do things worthy of blogging about, I just am a little busy and don't get to the blogging very fast, or ever.

So Trevor and I have joined the ranks of the scuba certified. My brothers and a sister are certified and wanted to plan a trip to Catalina Island. They invited Trevor and I to go, and we were really excited. We took our scuba classes and then were able to do our open water dives on the trip with the instructor that went with us.

It's been a long time since we've taken a trip with just the two of us (and most of my family :) ) Well, actually we haven't done that since we've had kids. But finally I'm not pregnant or breastfeeding (it's like I have my own body!) and we thought this would be something really fun that we've always wanted to do.

Anyway, Trevor got an underwater casing for our camera and took some pictures with it. So here they are. And for future reference, I'll try and be a little more dilligent about blogging.


Trevor and I getting ready to go. That's a lot of gear, huh? The water by Catalina is really cold so we had full wetsuits, gloves, hoods, booties--the works. And even though it's a huge pain to put it all on, especially if it isn't dry from the last dive, we were SO glad we had all of it, it was freezing!



This seal played around us for a good long time. It was really neat. I tried to touch him/her? a couple times because it came so close, but never did. It was on our first dive and I was a little apprehensive...
