Trip Experience

I am really excited to host this trip! I was a competitive swimmer and scuba instructor in college, and I still swim, kayak, snorkel and enjoy all things involving the water so this seems like a perfect trip.  I’ve never been to this part of the world so I’m eager to learn more about it with all of you.
