We arrived at my aunt’s about 10:30 a.m. About four of my cousin’s are already changed and having fun. Once in my swimsuit I head out to meet Jordan and the other’s, whose names I can’t remember.

Diving was a passion of mine and this hobby was a passion of mine, so I was able to keep things that others weren’t able to keep and I had special permits from the government to keep things that weren’t typically allowed just to see if we could keep them alive to pull them off of the protect list. Doing so we were able to grow them and propagate them, so many things weren’t touchable became a hobbyist pet.…
