If you’re following along on Instagram and Snapchat, you may have noticed that I’m currently in Bonaire for a scuba diving trip. Garrett convinced me to sign up for a class to learn how to dive this summer. (If you’re in the New York City area, I highly recommend Ocean Blue Divers– it was an amazing course.)
I’ve been a little apprehensive about this trip as we’re diving a lot and I feel like such a beginner. We had the option to finish our open water certification in a lake in Pennsylvania, but this trip seemed like such a better option considering once we finish our certification (the first few dives there) we’re good to go. Wish me luck…
This trip comes at a little bit of a stressful time considering the move we just did and back-to-school season, but at the same time maybe it’s the perfect time to take a little vacation. I’m excited to soak up the last bit of summer (and celebrate my 26th birthday!) down there.
Scuba certified right here! Thank goodness you didn't do your checkout dive in PA… I did, and it was AWFUL. Such cold water!! Enjoy your warm, tropical water instead.
I am! I'm so jealous that Bonaire is your first trip…I haven't even gotten there yet! My favorite dives are definitely Cozumel (super easy!) and Grand Cayman. I've got the other two ABC islands — Aruba and Curaçao — on my bucket list!
I can barely swim but maybe I will have to sign up for swimming AND diving lessons when I move to NY. I'd do it here in CA but don't have time right now. You're such an inspiration.
I just got scuba certified this past August and I was TERRIFIED. But I ended up having the time of my life! All my instructors were talking about how Bonaire was one of their favorite places in the world to dive!

I recently stayed at @boramcare, a postnatal retreat, in NYC with my three week old and had the BEST experience. 👶🏼 🍼🤱🏻 I was blown away by the services Boram has to offer- they have thought of everything to help mothers recover physically and emotionally after giving birth. Leave a comment with “postnatal retreat” and I will DM you more information about #Boram and even more details about my stay.
