Two words, SEA SICK! I have come to learn that I get extremely sea sick on a boat. As we ventured out to Bird Island, we could see the sun rising in the horizon, the day was beautiful. Soon after being on the boat we worked together to helped each other put together our diving gear. After that my stomach slowly took a turn for the worst. For the remainder of the trip I spent my time in the back of the boat or on the side. Everyone was very helpful in comforting me, checking on me, and giving me fluids to drink. Once we finally arrived at Bird Island I felt some what better and with the help of my scuba buddies I geared up and met everyone in the water.
As we descended and swam away from the boat I could see the sea lions circling us with curiosity. They darted left and right passing us with ease. It was amazing to see all of the plants and fish down at the bottom! Not to long into the dive I started to feel dehydrated and informed Glen. With his help he brought me closer to the boat and I swam to the ladder. I decided to be safe and call it, for the remainder of the time I watched the sea lions and re-hydrated my body. I napped all the way back to land feeling much better I couldn't have been more thankful to be on land again! The adventure was great aside from my sea sickness and I would do it again, it will not hinder me from scuba diving! It's one of the best experiences I've had by far(:
