We woke up knowing that today was going to be a pretty significant (and stress-relieving) day as the second dive of today would be Josh’s 100th dive. The 100th dive milestone was so significant for Josh (other than just being awesome!) because he needed at least 100 dives to be able to complete his open … Continue reading Escape The Winter Trip 2020: Day 12
