When I was four years old my family started taking vacations to the Caribbean. There I learned the fascinations of undersea life. Back then I could only peer through a boogie board with a glass window cut through it. When I was older I learned to snorkel but it still wasn’t enough. My parents were both scuba divers and they took me on some trips so I could snorkel. I wanted to see what they were seeing so when I was old enough, I took a scuba class.

For Christmas, my parents gave me the diving packet with the book and all the information. In my first class we learned about the parts of the scuba unit. In the first pool session I finally got to take my first breath underwater. This was amazing to me because now it seemed I could stay underwater forever. After I passed my final exam my family took our annual vacation, this time to Belize where I would get my open water certification. I was lucky because I got to do my open water dives on the second largest barrier reef in the world. My parents and I went out on a small boat with a man named Sylvan. When we got to the bottom he had me demonstrate all the things I learned in class. After four of these dives over the course of two days I finally got my certification.

Over the next week I dove with my parents every day. Some of the fish I saw were amazing. Even the small things on the reef were cool. As I get older I would like to keep diving, try more dive sites and maybe even make it a career.

"Kalipso Dive had the opportunity to provide Adam with his classroom and pool sessions.  Adam was a great student that was comfortable in every aspect of diving.  He was a pleasure to work with and we wish Adam a great life experience in diving."
