Kayaking with Ahmed

Joshua and Ahmed

We were at the Oceanium scuba club in Dakar, Senegal and rented two kayaks to go out on the ocean. We saw a huge beautiful Portuguese man-o-war. It gave us quite a scare. We were glad that we were in our kayaks and not in the water when it passed by us.

Joshua dived to 3 meters, about 9 feet, and saw many fish and even some sea urchins. He doesn't like them at all. His dive lasted about 20 minutes. He was too cold to continue on much longer. The water that day was cold, about 17C or 63F. I, Mike, dived at a different location that day. I wore two diving suits to stay warm.
