Florida Key’s
This previous expedition was based out of the Florida Key’s. The expedition’s main activity was scuba diving. Most of us got open water certified two of us including me got our advanced open water certification. To get your advanced certification you need to do five different dives such as your buoyancy dive, underwater naturalist, underwater navigator, deep dive, and your first dive which is just to get use to the water again. I’m really glad that I got my advanced open water certification.
On our first dive we were just swimming around getting use to the water. On our second dive we were swimming through hula hoops and practicing our buoyancy control. Our third dive was our deep dive to 70 feet deep; we had to do a math problem on the surface and time ourselves and then the same math problem and 70 feet and time ourselves to make sure that we didn’t have nitrogen narcosis. On our fourth dive we had to practice our underwater naturalist skills. On our last dive we had to practice out underwater navigation skills, and that was our last dive of the trip.
Later on we got our temporary certification and then went back to camp. The next day we went to Key West and went to the sunset festival and watched crazy street performers. We also had key lime pie. That was the last of our expedition in the keys.
The next morning we packed up camp and set out for my house. When we got to my house we went swimming in the pool, played pool on my pool table, ate a delicious dinner and watched TV and other small stuff. Then the next morning we took a couple of group photos and then said goodbye to my family and set out for Georgia. Then we woke up the next morning and went to Savannah and did school and then went back to base camp in Balsam, NC.
