We started the morning with a delicious breakfast of scrambled eggs, pork patties, and English muffins – the perfect fuel for another action-packed day.
After breakfast, everyone completed their pre-departure checks and got ready to set sail towards Cooper Island. The sail was incredible, with everyone enjoying the beautiful Caribbean conditions and the excitement of heading to our next destination.
Once we arrived, Sandy Feet headed over to Pacify, where we enjoyed a tasty hotdog lunch and some fun in the water! The afternoon was filled with laughter and teamwork as we took part in some classic water games, including Fender Rodeo, King of the Castle, and the hydration game “Cold Rattling Bog.” Everyone had an amazing time cooling off and enjoying the sunshine.
After the fun in the water, we got all the divers ready and headed over to the shore to meet the Sail Caribbean Dive Team. The campers had their introduction to diving, learning what to expect and getting excited for their underwater adventures ahead.
Our fun and advanced divers headed out for an incredible dive on the RMS Rhone Shipwreck, where they had an unforgettable experience exploring one of the Caribbean’s most famous dive sites. Meanwhile, our Open Water students had a strong start to their course by completing their equipment setups, swims, and Open Water quizzes. They are now fully prepared and excited to begin their confined water training tomorrow!
After everyone returned from diving, the team got together for dinner preparation. Everyone worked hard and enjoyed another great meal together before starting the evening routine of boat clean-up.
We finished off the night with some fun games, a boat meeting, and lots of laughs.
Overall, it was another fantastic day filled with adventure, learning, teamwork, and new experiences. We can’t wait to see what tomorrow brings!
