I Got Lazy

I know there was no post yesterday. It was mainly because I was so depressed that I didn't get to go diving. I was doing course work instead for the Rescue Diver stuff. With better time management though between me and the instructor I definitely could have gone on at least one of the dives sigh. Jonah went diving all my himself and saw two turtles. He did claim that it was not as much without me though. Still we managed to have our first fight yesterday, impressive that we made it four days without one. I wont explain the details as he is the only person i know for sure who reads this blog. Let's talk about today instead.

This is a Trumpetfish

So today I went diving! Let's talk about trumpetfish. They are hilarious  and not only because they would make terrible trumpet players (they don't have the lips for it). They, like many other creatures attempt to camouflage. They're method is hiding in soft coral which sways in the current. So they make themselves vertical and hope that no one will see them...It doesn't work. That made me laugh on the first dive. The second dive was a little more stressful as there were more people, many of whom I had not dove with before. This worries me because it increases the likelihood I take a fin to the face. We saw some cool little slugs, spotted drums, and a giant barracuda. Communication is really difficult underwater. So I tried to signal to Jonah that it was a spotted drum. The sign is to play the drums (probably snare). He thought I was riding a horse and started looking for a seahorse. Sigh I need to get a dive slate.
I passed the written rescue diver exam. Yay! The only thing left is do some actual rescuing scenarios...oh shit!
Parents came in today and Jonesy and I had dinner with them. There is no such thing as a serious conversation in this family. I try to tell them about caecilians, pronounced sicilian, and my dad starts humming the theme from the godfather. Insufferable!

Caecilian, pronounced like the Italian people (only much more gross and slimy)

That's just one example. Shrubberies, Notlob, and many other things came up. Bonus points to those who understand those jokes. It was fun, i guess parents can be ok to have around, assuming you don't see tooooo much of them.
