My stories were from the textbook, and his were made up as we progressed through the lessons. You can always tell when he is telling a whopper of a story. Those are the ones that start out believable and degrade quickly. He is very fluid in the water, and has a grin from ear to ear - wet or dry.

Debbie Debbie was probably tied up keeping track of Rene, Garrett, and Valerie, but she was around the group when she and her family weren't out exploring the island. Valerie wasn't a diver yet, but was active in the island exploration team. I expect she will be diving soon. Garrett - Rene and Debbie's son Garrett was a waterbug. When we did the snorkel tour on the last diving day, he was all over the place.
