Diving!!!

While Robert didn’t get through the pool classes while we were in Alexandria due to congestion limiting his ability to clear his ears, Sarah arranged a Discover Scuba class that got us all into the ocean.

Robert’s online classes and first round of pool work showed off and he was ready for the ocean after just a few minutes in the pool. Sarah and I recalled enough of what we used to know to convince Glen, our guide to let us out in the ocean as well.

Robert, clearly, had a blast!

It was a shore dive, we we walked down the beach in our gear, waded in, popped on our fins and disappeared. At least in theory. We had a little walk to the beach and it’s hard to put on fins with even minimal surf.

And Sarah had to rescue my tank which wanted to stay on the surface.

Once we got underway — which really was not that hard — we saw reefs, cool tropical fish, and even a couple snorkelers who were swimming out from the beach.
