Guided tour from Seven Seas Scuba instructor, Preston. He was awesome and helped carry Jenny’s Scuba unit down to the beach and into the water to keep her knee happy. Once she was all geared up we swam out a bit and tried descending. Jenny had to come up to the surface quick just to calm her nerves and breathe through her reg for a minute, and then we went down again. Visibility wasn’t that impressive at first but got better as we swam away from other groups. Tons of starfish and a few decorator crabs, one of which I noticed while we were looking at a HUGE sun starfish for a bit, and realized that kelp was walking away from us. Jenny put a sea cucumber in Preston’s hands for some reason, and I saw a bird swimming around at the bottom.
Jenny’s knee started feeling a bit sore towards the end of the dive, so rather than risk really hurting it we packed up, called it a day, and went out for a sushi lunch.
