Maui Dive

This morning Gabbie and I woke up at 5 am and headed towards the south shore to go SCUBA diving off of the island Lanai. The Maui Divers shop was organized and we were well on our way to two dives. The first was at Cathedral Rock where we dove through cave holes. The visibility was great and the current small for our fifty minute dive. The light that shown through the covering rocks was like seeing light from a church stained glass window on a cloudy day. The second dive was not like the first. It was choppy, had a very strong current and at 500 left on the tank I got a leg cramp. In all it was a great trip. The outfitters took care of everything and that help make it more relaxing.

During the hour boat ride back to the dock I talked with a 45 year old firecracker of a man from Louisiana. He had two pieces of advice. First, some will, some won't, so what. Meaning that for example in teaching, some will think I am a great teacher, some won't, so what. Second, don't sweat the small stuff... and it is all small stuff. He clarified that one with, if you have money, you pay your bills on time, and are in general doing well, don't worry about the rest. That was something for me to chew on.
