Oria/Cuba 2001 - Oria - Diving


See also my Cuba 2000 page

On our fourth day aboard, Steve and Boris decided to try diving. Since Joe used to be a dive instructor, he was perfectly suited to show them everything. When he started talking about exploding lungs, Boris piked, but Steve kept at it and went for his introductory dive in full gear.

The same day, Monica and I went for a dive with Joe at the foot of the Petit Piton.

Chinese exercises....
Boris has had enough of exploding lungs and instead did his Chinese exercises on deck

He swears they make you feel wonderful. I hurt from just looking at them

Listen to the master

We failed to see "The Thing", however, a mysterious creature living in the area
