Diving, it's one of Caitlin's favorite pastimes. Today she got the chance to do her first wreck dive. There is a popular dive sight here called American Tanker where a huge tanker sank many years ago. You can get to the top of the wreck at about 60 feet down. Caitlin and Jeremy went inside it and explored a little. Caitlin said she was a bit nervous at first to go in and when she got inside it made her feel weird to be right side up inside something that was sitting sideways. I'm so glad I do not know these details before the dive!! I'm already a bundle of nerves every time she goes out. John and Jeremy are both expert divers and they claim that Caitlin is a natural and that there is nothing to fear about her skill level. Plus they take good care and are very cautious when she dives with them, but I'm a mom and worry I will. Caitlin reported the visibility to be awesome today, they saw tons of fish and sea life and found an old Coca-Cola bottle with crustaceans growing all over it. The coolest thing she said they saw was an air pocket inside the ship with lots of really neat plants growing in it. Lee asked her if she felt like Nemo in the Fish Are Friends Sharks Meeting while she was inside the ship? Her reply: "I'm havin' fish tonight!"
