I am on the mend. Feeling much better but my buddy is not so to well. Same people on the boat but it is Martin’s last day. Great to meet people from all over the world. Martin is an Argentinian criminal prosecutor laywer. Where else in our day to day lives would we meet an Argentinian criminal prosecutor laywer?
A trip across to the other island. We were going to do Kirby’s rock but the current was too strong so we did Alang Alang instead which is just around the corner from Kirby’s rock. Lovely clear water and lots of critters to take pictures of.
Still current at Kirby’s rock so we move to Kaban Cove. Quite wavy but much less so in the cove. Surface interval was full of coffee, Oreos and sweeties. Richard was a little quite. 🤔🤔
I had a great dive! Lovely critters to take pictures of, including a psychedelic slug, see picture, only about 0.5cm in length. An awesome animal.
On the trip back Richard looked like he was about to fall asleep (I know, not unusual) but he didn’t look so good.
After lunch we went to the room for some rest and relaxation. When it came to getting ready for the afternoon dive Richard couldn’t do it. Just to tired.
So I went diving.
Just myself, Nanni and Martin on the boat for a trip just up the coast to El Pinot for the pygmy seahorses.
Lovely dive. Spent plenty of time with the seahorses although I didn’t take many photos. No point taking the picture of the eye is not in focus! Also, it’s a waste of time and stressful for the seahorses. Also saw lots of other critters including this porcelain crab in an anemone.
A returned to our room to find Richard on the balcony in long trousers and a hoodie. He didn’t look like he was about to get ready for the night dive.
For the night dive, it was Nanni, Martin and myself on the house reef. Lots of critters, nudis not seen anywhere else, Bobbitt worm, just lots of stuff.
Richard came to dinner, just as well as it had ordered him chop suey, his favourite, with Shanghai lumpia and fried rice.
Richard was asleep shortly after returning to the room and I spent an hour or so organising pictures.
