Yesterday was calm, today is less windy!
After breakfast we prep the cameras and we head out acoss the bay to Kirbys Rock. This is a pinnacle and wall down to about 23m then a slope to a second pinnacle which is festoon with the hello sea cucumbers.
Making it when more special was the fact that it was Jo’s 1700th dive. Several nudi’s were spotted on the way, zero current, monster visibility and still 29 degrees, lovely.
We head around the corner for the next dive which is Kirbys Point layag layag which is coral outcrops, a sandy slope and then the occasional outcrop. Nudi’s, eels and other sealife is lined up ready to entertain us.
Back on dry land for a light lunch of chicken chop suey for me, BLT and fries for Jo then a dip in the pool, it’s got properly hot today with blistering sunshine making the pool even more inviting.
After the briefest of rests we head out to ‘Bubbles’, this is the dive site with a thin layer of rock covering lava, I kid you not, touch the rock and it burns!
Many nudi’s and flabellinas spotted, one of our favourite dive sites.
Back ashore for a hot beverage before we set out for the dusk dive which tonight is at Siam Sim.
… And on that dive we saw:
Seahorses, crab porn. Frog fish, bobtail squid and two different kinds of Picachu nudies.
Then its back on board for the swift trip back to base, quick showers, prinks and tonights dinner of shanghai rolls, chicken chop suey and pork binagoongang.
We collapse in our room once more to recharge ready for tomorrows great adventure!
