Today is a rest day. We're having a cookout tonight with the whole crew, including Navy divers. It's going to be fun. Tomorrow, part of the production team will leave us for two weeks of filming in the Amazon for a piece by Fabien's sister Celeine -- I can't wait to hear their stories when they return!
Today I tried on for fit the full face masks we'll use for SCUBA this week. The mask has a microphone and speakers in it that will allow us to communicate underwater.
Last night, we went to an great lecture by Bob Croft at the History of Diving Museum. He was a Navy diving instructor and the first person to free-dive beyond 200 ft deep. He said, "You really don't need to breathe as often as you think you do."
