SUMMARY:
For many divers, the Great Barrier Reef is a pilgrimage they make after years spent exploring the ocean. For Chantel, it’s where she dove for the first time, and it’s an experience she will never forget.
DESCRIPTION:
You always remember your first time.
Whoa, hang on a second, I didn’t mean it like that. Get your head out of the gutter.
It’s just that new experiences in life, no matter the type, are always memorable. My first beer when I turned 21 (a porter) was at Jack of the Wood, a great bar in Asheville, NC. I vividly remember being rolled into the operating room as a six-year-old for my first time having surgery (it’s actually the earliest memory I have in life). And I know that I’ll never forget that first moment I saw Chantel in her wedding dress.
My wife and I have enjoyed some amazing moments in life, and I got to have a front-row seat for one of her coolest firsts: scuba diving.
