Adventure abounds at CIMI on this
wonderful Tuesday. As you probably know, the day began with rain. Did that stop
us? No! The kids went on their first snorkel this morning. Cautious at first,
they became comfortable in the water and did a great job managing slightly
choppy water. The best news is that visibility was very good and the kids saw
all kinds of fish. We had reports of several sightings of kelp bass and half
moon.
Free time followed the dive and
a delicious lunch followed that. This afternoon, our instructors at CIMI were
thinking ahead and adjusted our schedule in case of thunder. For the afternoon
program, our kids rotated through several labs. They were able to pet sharks
and rays during Shark Lab and look at plankton through microscopes. Everyone
seemed quite happy.
This evening includes one of
the most outstanding CIMI activities: the night dive. Half of our kids are able
to choose this or an alternate activity and the other half will go tomorrow
night. Bioluminescence, the light emitted from plankton, looks like thousands
of stars in the dark of the water. Seeing this is, without question, an
unforgettable experience. If your child chooses to participate, you will
surely hear about it.
Boy oh boy, what a great day!
