The trip turned out to be a fantastic experience. The dives were really good and I enjoy living on the boat (a bit like aquatic indoor camping..click here for a little background on the concept of indoor camping). The vessel was quite small and simple, but the ambiance was was really friendly and familial. My fellow divers were a great bunch, and we had a fantastic time together.
The small boat made of a unique summer camp-like atmosphere, but when the waves kicked up, the seasickness factor skyrocketed and moving from lower deck to the sleeping area was an all-fours-grab-what-you-can-and-hold-on-for-dear-life-adventure (honestly, I'm a little surprised that no one fell overboard). Every time I heard one of my compatriots scramble downstairs to feed the fish, I thanked my lucky stars that I hadn't inherited my dad's motion sickness tendencies.
During the trip I logged my 50th dive. Most of my accomplishments during this year of travel have been of the personal growth variety, but learning to dive and becoming a proficient diver has been a measurable feat. Though small, perhaps it is a tangible example of greater things afoot.
