The Indians: A Spectacular Dive and Snorkel Location in BVI

Europeans were calling that country Hindustan in 1492…. Columbus called the tribal people he met “Indio,” from the Italian in dio,Continue reading “The Indians: A Spectacular Dive and Snorkel Location in BVI”
Sunchaser Scuba
My first breath was just…it just seemed impossible that you could actually breathe underwater. I knew in my mind it was possible, but actually experiencing it was such a gulp of joy and I feel it every time I go under the ocean.

Having FunYet ?
Never, ever underestimate the importance of having fun. Randy Pausch I remember learning to read. My mother had purchased some workbooks intending to teach me to read.
