We are now in the Caribbean.
And we participated in a diving course.
Me and dad got to dive 12 meters deep.
But mom had already gotten her diploma, so she went diving with Marinthe.
And they were only allowed 2 meters deep.
Beforehand, we went to practice in the pool.
There we were taught by an instructor.
She did speak English, so Dad had to translate it for me.
In the pool we did exercises.
For example, taking your goggles off underwater and then putting them back on.
I found it quite easy, but Dad had a little trouble with it.
When it was afternoon then we took a boat for divers out to sea to another island.
There we went into the sea with scuba tanks.
Dad and I went to 12 meters with our instructor, and Marinthe and mom went to 2 meters.
After 3 days of diving and doing exercises in the sea, Dad and I finally got our diploma.
I did think it was a shame that the diving was over.
But at least I had a lot of fun with it.
I do miss you guys a lot.
And I hope the sun shines on you again!

dear Eline
how nice that you got your diving certification
that's pretty good. with us the sun is still not shining there is only rain and more rain. i have played hockey again Saturday that was fun because now we are in the eights with all other children. you now have to play on a half field that is tiring but fun. i hope you have a good time on the boat but i miss you. it takes too long and it seems that you already have three years on the boat and i hope you can skype again sometime.
lots of greetings and a big hug from Jeske XXxxxxxxx
