5/06 My Neighbor To(ron)toro

Tuesday – Elliot and Sarah were on the boat finishing up Day Three of our Three Day Open Water course.  They’re from Toronto and have been enjoying the beautiful weather we’ve been having lately.  We jumped into back crater at Koko’s, and swam around for a bit, seeing a couple green sea turtles and a spiny king snail.  Then we did some compass navigation and the CESA and then came out.  From there we jumped in to Turtle Canyon, where we saw a huge turtle and some eels, and Elliot and Sarah worked on practicing Buoyancy control.  Congratulations Elliot and Sarah, nice work out there.  Everyone else, practice your buoyancy control, and stay safe.
