Scuba Diving at Beqa Island

We went to explore the reef.  Rikki and Tkai had scuba gear and Jonah and I snorkeled right above them.  Rikki gave Jonah her octopus (spare regulator) and took Jonah under her arm ... down they went.  Jonah's first time breathing underwater in the ocean and going deep enough to look up close at the coral and it's many critters.  It was great to have the view from above watching them explore.  Who better then a Marine Biologist to take us scuba diving.  She is competent, informative and excited to teach.  Rikki had spent some time with us before the dive identifying fish in a book.  Then as we dove, she pointed them out and we could recognize them. Warm water, beach entry, colorful reef 20 yards out, 50' visibility.  Couldn't have asked for better.
