Scuba diving and Dad’s sense of taste

Our next adventure was finding somewhere to scuba dive. We were successful in finding the worlds SLOWEST boat to take us out in the Kornati islands for a dip. I kind of feel bad making fun of their boat because the guys with the dive shop were super nice. They even let Jonah drive the boat (remember, it was super slow so this wasn’t really a problem…although it may have taken us some extra time swerving all over the place on the way back).

Look closely at this photo. This is the last time my Dad had his sense of taste on the trip. Poor guy! After the dive he lost all sense of smell and taste and it didn’t come back until he went to the Doc after getting home and took an antibiotic for the sinus infection he apparently had (not fun to be sick on vacation!). And if you know my Dad, tasting things is really important to him. I felt really bad for him…but we got to scuba dive!!! The guys saw an old shipwreck which is really cool. And then I did the second dive with Nick, which was super shallow and they made us come up after not very long because the waves were getting too big and we were close to shore, but we saw some sea horses. Diving is a different experience every time.
