Another beautiful day! Even less wind than yesterday!! Sunshine and blue skies.
Normal start to the day – breakfast, camera stuff and diving
Across to the other island for Bethlehem followed by Agahuta.
Dive #9
Bethlehem
Down a slope to a rubble area where we spent the majority of the dive at about 20 metres.
No current and excellent visibility.
Saw all sorts of slugs.
We moved to Agahuta for our surface interval. The sun was so warm and the water was so flat. Stunning. Coffee, Oreos and good conversation with our dive buddies Nina, Anne, Fred and Julie. Lots of laughter.
Dive #10
Agahuta
This is a coral slope to the sandy bottom at about 20 metres
We both said what a lovely relaxed dive it was and that’s saying something as most of the dives here are relaxing.
Some very nicely positioned slugs
The water on the trip back was like a mill pond.
Picture to follow.
After lunch of BLT and fries for me and Richard’s taken on fish and chips, tuna ceviche with fries, we had a quick dip in the pool followed by a nap.
Dive #11
Sun View
Fabulous dive.
Started with a yellow pygmy seahorse and followed by numerous photo opportunities.
As Patsy would say “absolutely fabulous darhhhling”😜
After an hour interval we dived again. Very calm here.
Dive #12
Manit Corner
One of our favorites. Just us and Nanny.
This is a rocky peninsula, covered in life.
We saw two of the tiniest of squid, less than a centimetre long, a very beautiful purple mottled tiny octopus. Also, some chunky slugs and finally an amazing harlequin shrimp.
I was trying to use a red light on this dive for focusing but my camera didn’t like it. Any shots I got were by luck rather than judgment!
Cocktail before dinner – Pina Colada
Ordered too much food for dinner! Pork sisig, sweet and sour chicken, fried rice and two lumpia.
A bit of picture work followed by some much needed sleep.
