The Goat takes to the water.

I went scuba diving. Can you believe it!!! I was petrified but did it anyway. We practised in a pool and I was really crap at it, couldn't swim in a straight line and went floating bum up to the top.
After about a half hour practice we got on a boat and went out to the ocean ( unfortunately I have no photographic evidence) and I jumped in and went down about 10 feet along a rope and then couldnt pop my ears, felt freaky so went back up. Fish were looking at me and the water was warm and clear but it was very choppy and I was later told by experts, like my darling husband who was so proud of me for doing it, that it was not a good day for a first go. I then sat in the boat staring at the horizon for the next hour to avoid sea sickness. It worked. It was the first time that I ever sat in a boat on the ocean and didn't chuck. Anyway, after this experience I reckon snorkelling will be a breeze.
