Welcome back to Our Evening Chats with Ray, Ryo & Little Rae! Big milestone: Ryo is officially an Open Water Scuba Diver. 🎉 In this episode we talk through the whole journey—from e-learning and pool sessions to first ocean dives—plus the three big fears most new divers face (breathing underwater, gear anxiety, and marine-life worries) and how Ryo worked through them. We revisit favorite sites like Crash Boat Beach (Aguadilla, Puerto Rico) and Blue Heron Bridge (Florida), geek out about buoyancy and mask-clearing, and share close-ups with a turtle, stingray, a baby nurse shark… and yes, Dory. We also touch on coral health, artificial reefs, and why buddy skills matter. If you’re a parent considering scuba for your kid, or a new diver looking for encouragement, this one’s for you. 💙 Chapters below. If you want more family adventures, hit Subs ...
