Welcome to another day in Anilao, breakfast completed, I can confirm that all equipment has been checked and is currently in operational mode (the day is only just beginning, plenty of opportunity for failure!)
Dive gear is loaded on to the boats and we have 29 minutes to deal with that post breakfast bloated feeling that seems to plague us daily.
Clear skies and sunshine at the moment, could be a great day for burning….
We headed out to the first site ‘Mainit School’ which is a slope with coral outcrops down to a sandy seabed at around 20m. We spend most of the dive playing with various nudi’s including a couple of large pink ones with yellow and red rhinophores and gills. A small turtle was hiding from us but failed as we discovered it quite easily.
Back on board for tea and biscuits and we make our way down to the next site Mainit Corner where all manner of Nudi’s were found amongst the various stunning coral outcrops which were festoon with brightly coloured featherstars as well as all sorts of other equally colorfull things.
Back on dry land we have an hour until lunch so it’s pool time, lovely and warm and ideal for a pre lunch bob-about.
Lunch was BLT and fries for Jo whilst I enjoyed chicken chop suey, yum! Then with over an hour before the next dive we spend time soaking up the rays, scorchio!
