Each year in July, Dominica has a Dive Fest! It is about a week and half and at the end they have a BIG canoe race! During the week, they will have 'Discover Scuba Diving,' under water camera demonstration, and some other diving events! Each day there is a special event throughout the island!
I did not participate last year but this year the Peace Corps girls put together two teams for the canoe race! One team one 3 Peace Corps Volunteers and a friend. The team I was on was myself, a PCV, and her parents! What happens is, each boat has a captain and two rowers. The two rowers, row out to their teammates who are standing on a floating dock, and then switch, so the other two row back! Understand?
Once of the PCV sunk the boat but still got to race int he finals because the Ross University Team (The Medical School) left! My team ended up winning which was VERY exciting and A LOT of fun!
