On July 26th 2016, this picture was taken in Belize City, Belize; this was taken under water at a dive site called Ambergris Caye. Now some may say, "A Picture Says 1000 Words," so I want you to take a good look at the picture above and try to figure out my story.
Now before I go into too much detail about the picture and tell you my story, I need to give you just a little background information. I first got certified to be a scuba diver in 2011, and I was just turning twelve at the time. Scuba diving is my life and I enjoy every single second I get to be underwater. So, my mom and I have been to many places to dive including: Key Largo, Florida; Key West, Florida; Jupiter, Florida; West Palm, Florida; and Athens, Tennessee.

The week before we left, we packed our dive gear consisting of: regulators, buoyancy control device (BCD 's), mask, fins, gloves, skins and wetsuits, weights, dive logs, cameras, dive computers, and back up batteries. When the day came to hop on the plane, my mom and I couldn 't even contain our excitement. After a three-hour plane ride, we finally arrived at the Belize airport. After going through immigration processes we grabbed our luggage and ran to find our friends. Once we found everyone, we looked for a person holding a sign that said Belize Aggressor IV. Then, when we found our guy holding the sign, William, he gave us some disappointing news. He said that we either had to wait three hours for the other plane and go back with him or pay for a taxi. We all weren 't thrilled by this answer considering we had just got off the plane, it was extremely hot, and we were lugging our suitcases everywhere we went.
As time passed, we decided to pay for a cab and go to the port. So, we flagged down a taxi and headed to the boat. Once we got there, we were greeted by welcoming smiles. The crew took our luggage, and we all got settled in. After everyone arrived we settled down for the night and headed towards open waters. As the days passed, we became more accustom to waking up at six in the morning and doing six dives a day, which each dive lasted about an hour or
