One of the wonderful changes I have witnessed in the kids is their expanding sense of wonder at the life in the ocean. Their courage has grown when swimming with marine life. Where once they avoided shallow waters full of sea urchins and fire coral they now swim right up to the reef. If there is a cave or arch under water the swim through it. Both Ben and Juli are capable of free diving to nearly 18 feet. This puts them in the range of seeing most of the wonderful life on the reefs.
