The last two dives before Andy and I were certified had arrived and so we head out to two popular Roatán dive sites — Blue Cave and Urchin Reef.
Andy and I woke to the calmest seas, which meant a perfect day to go barracuda fishing.
With a quick one-step, Andy fell into the ocean — gone — and it was then I realized that I essentially forced a scared Englishman to go scuba diving . . . and made him go first . . . after I frightened him about sharks below.
“L. You were already going to kill yourself. Now you’re going to kill me too. This is just bloody great.” That’s Andy, which perfectly sums up how our first trip together somewhere new wasn’t necessarily all paradise. Though most of it was. Or maybe that depends on who you ask.

Here’s a summary on our journey . . .
