Last Dive!

     I went on my last dive for this trip today. We got to dive El Avion which was a wreck of a small airplane that had crashed on one of the islands. It had been for a National Geographic shoot when the engine stalled and the people crash landed on a small island. They pushed the plane off the island and into the water where it sat at the sandy bottom of a reef, 60 feet below the surface. It's now a home for different species of corals, sponges, and fish.
      Apart from the plane, Alex took us down around 98 feet where we swam through different coral pinnacles before making our way back up to the wreck. The visibility wasn't neccessarily the best at times but it was good by the time we got to the wreck. I also was really happy because my ears cleared really fast! All I have to work on now is not using as much air. Progress has been made!
