Diving into the Blue of Zanzibar
It only makes sense that diving was my next avenue for exploration. I didn’t come to Zanzibar with the intention of learning to dive; I really didn’t have many plans to begin with. Yesterday I completed my Open Water Diving Certificate and couldn’t stop with that. After another two adventure dives today (working on deep water and navigation skills), I’ll be completing another three tomorrow to finish off my Advanced Open Water Certificate.
I couldn’t be happier with my choice to become a diver. I feel this shift in how I look at the opportunities that present themselves in life. It’s like putting on a new pair of shades, where all I can think of is where I will dive over my lifetime. I’ve already covered considerable ground in the real sense of geographical exploration, but diving opens up a great deal more of this incredible planet of ours.
I was already very fortunate enough to have spend significant time on reefs, doing two courses in marine biology on the Great Barrier Reef, as well as a time in Fiji explore the surface, but diving really does allow you to reach more depths than ever before.
I was fortunate enough to have a fabulous dive buddy as well as instructor!
My last day of my Advanced Open Water was incredible. Mastering buoyancy and achieving the fabulous upside down underwater

Wow. Such an amazing adventure…it looks like paradise from the beach, so I can only imagine how beautiful it is under the water…next you’ll have to get an underwater camera!!
You must be reading my mind. That is next on my wish list, along with dive gear!
Can’t wait!
