San Carlos!

Chancy and I were finally able to dive together! Last Thursday Chancy, my Mom, Dad and myself set off at 3am to go to San Carlos, Mexico! We got there around noon, ate then went to the condos, changed and jumped straight into the ocean! We snorkeled for about 3 hours! It was so beautiful there! We played with the little craps that have the shells on there backs a while then scoped out some lobsters to grab during our night dive off the shore, after that we just played with all the fish that we saw! On Friday we took off on the boat to to our first dive together! Our first dive was a little rough! We both were able to clear our ears so we got to go down all the way to the bottom (60 feet). We went under and over rocks saw all kinds of colors and sea life. We just kept going and going. Then we we say we only had 1000 lbs of air left in our tanks we started to head back, only we were a lot farther then we thought so we surface to see exactly how far we were from the ship! We were about a football Field way! So we started back on the surface against the current! There was one point in which i was sure i could not make it any further and Chancy was gonna have to dang me. I started getting very grumpy at this point telling Chancy we were not to do that again and that we needed to to head back at about 1/2 a tank under water because it a lot easier to swim under water! haha i felt bad after that so i just kept swimming and finally made it back with out saying anything else that was not positive! That night when we got back to the condos we decided we wanted to go for a night dive! Good idea??? No! ha ha We only had two flash lights and so I was voted to stay in between my Father and Husband. Sure i thought that will be ok.. Well no my dad and chancy did not stay on either side on went one way another went the other way. So i stuck with one at a time. Neither one of them were very mindful of what was on my side so the constantly were dragging me into the rocks! In there defence the tide was pretty strong because it was very close to a full moon but all they had to do was shine the flashlight to the side of them every now and again! haha After the dive i was surprised to find i had not hit a poisonous rock fish but i did have sea urchin slivers in my rear! That did not feel good. Not to mention all the scraps and bruises i received! ha ha All in all the the night dive was awesome! It was so fun to see the sea life at night! So different! Ire but fun! I was not laugh or enjoying it much at the time but now i think about it was a lot of fun! Saturday we got to dive with the Sea Lions! They are so fast and playful! They follow you around and swim up to you very fast. Chancy and I both touched one and the one i touched just kinda snapped at me. the one Chancy touch brought the big boy sea lion down to stare Chancy down! It was kinda funny but kinda made me a little nervous. Saturday night we relaxed! Sunday morning we packed up and went to church in Mexico. Chancy was the only one who understood anything. After Church Chancy asked for directions to the Temple there. A nice member offered to drive us there! It was a beautiful Temple. The Shape reminded me of the Snowflake temple. The drive home after that was long! Chancy was a trooper and stayed awake while we all slept! We made it home safe and worn out! It was a great trip and we all had a blast!
