Sixth day in Tanzania

I got to the diving instructors building and went inside. There were two rooms where people were taught how to dive and then one room where they kept all the diving gear! Oh, and also the waiting room. I walked up to the receptionist desk and told her I had made a reservation for group diving. She sent me over to sit and wait with a few other people she called my name and pointed into the room she wanted me in. Luckily the instructor spoke a little English so we could communicate. She started going over the equipment and over time more and more people showed up! Pretty soon there were quite a few tourists in the room. Once we were done we walked through the door to the left and inside were some birthday decorations and the stage of a puppet show. Next to that were a few sea animal puppets and the rug was a giant whale. I was very disappointed when the woman led us through another door out the back which led into a room with a huge pool! After the chatting quieted the lady who had taken us around the building started to talk. She explained that we would be practicing more snorkeling in the pool. Everyone got changed and hopped into the pool and we started doing some boring training. When we finished, I asked if we would be able to go snorkeling in the ocean soon. The lady didn't answer she just led us through another door that opened up to the beach, the white sand felt good on my pool pruned feet. Now was the fun part, it was time to watch all the goofy white tourists try to get into the water. I made sure I went in last. A few fell over others got knocked over and some gave up on walking backwards, those were the funniest!!! Now it was my turn getting in for me was a breeze, all the others watched in awe. Next, it was time to start diving! I dove down and was amazed by all the different colors of coral. The view was breath taking. I looked down and saw all the little brightly colored fish zooming around and hiding in coral caves and behind Sea Anenomes as I hovered over them. And when I couldn't hold my breath any longer I put my head up out of the water and several others followed popping up like little seals! I spent the whole day underwater and I saw quite a bit of sea life including Manta Rays, Dolphins, some huge fish, and a couple weird looking thing that I don't know the name of! It was a really good day that really took my mind off of the fact that I would be leaving the next day but luckily not until 7:40 pm.
