What a day! There is nothing like being underwater... but freediving under surfing waves? Brings a whole new level to the feeling. It felt so good to be instructing a little bit and also getting some play time underwater and I hope you enjoy too!

Some days can be a little ordinary on a boat, but things are also always changing. This week, not much seemed to go on, but it was still a busy week full of a variety of tasks and visiting with old and new friends.
