It was the most pampered snorkeling trip I’ve ever experienced. Kim got me rigged up in top of the line gear, including a wetsuit that floats, then had me sit with my feet in the water while she slipped on my flippers! No waddling across the beach like a duck in clown shoes, no getting queasy in the waves, no fear of, drowning, drifting out to sea, animal attacks or boat strikes. No worries period. Any time I lifted my head, Kim was there with a float to steady me, answer questions, adjust my gear. Much as I love the ocean, going sea-free has its perks. Thanks Kim!!
This is wonderful! Thank you so much for painting such a lovely picture of what I do! Kim T. Yamauchi
I’m glad you liked it Kim! Thank you for making my swim such a luxury.
