2. Scrabble – Use Diving Related Words
If you’re not familiar with scrabble it is a word game with two to four players. For those of you that love the game but want a bit more of a challenge, try using diving related words only. It’s a tough one but we have time.
3. Puzzles
Not only are puzzles good for all you “Dories” out there by improving your short term memory, it can also be super relaxing. Why not pick a puzzle with beautiful underwater scenery or with your favourite sea creature. You can even customise your own puzzle with your very own snap from your favourite dive site – how cool is that.
