Today was an eventful day for everyone. First, everyone calls me by a different name which is Loraine. Second, I have learned something new everyday.  Emily told me that flying pigs lay eggs and Quint told me to put the regulator in my mouth before descent. I taught them how to do criss cross apple sauce, but in China quint told me its criss cross soy sauce. Today, the beginners all dove in the ocean and practiced skills they needed to know and Jack saw flounder, Dominique saw a lionfish and we saw dolphins in the water. After diving, we all went on an adventure! We went to a fun bridge that we could walk across and observed the locals and how they lived. Then we went to a beautiful spot called Devil’s tears, where we watched the waves hit against the cliffs. Some of us got wet cause the waves were big and we all watched the jaw dropping sunset.  Then we went on what felt like a roller coaster ride to dinner and had some delicious Thai food and Indonesian food that the locals cooked for us. Tonight, no one fell asleep at the dinner table and we drank a lot of water. After dinner, we went back and swam.
