The third week of Loop Abroad at New Heaven Dive School was an extremely wonderful experience. They made someone with little swim experience feel comfortable and confident in the water. If anyone is considering doing this trip in the future, I would highly suggest it!

It opened my eyes to all the possibilities in life.

This trip taught me so much about both myself and the world around me. It opened my eyes to all the possibilities in life ahead of me. I wouldn't give this experience up for anything! I loved seeing the turtles while snorkeling and participating in SCUBA research.
