Didn’t sleep so well last night, so everything seems so much harder this morning. A little cloudy first thing but the water is mirror flat.
First breakfast on our own following the departure of Nina and Anne. So we changed it up and had scrambled eggs. We know how to make things eggsiting!
Richard had some camera stuff to do this morning due to an unexpected colour of LEDs on his snoot strobe. The exact reason that we always have a spare.
Dive #25
Manit School
Too much current at Red Rock so back round to Manit School. I had camera issues, spent a lot of time trying to sort it out. Once back on the surface I worked out it was my mask was smeared!! Nothing wrong with the camera. Phew!!
Not done much good for my headache so a trip to Jo’s pharmacy for me
During the surface interval we were watching the rain in the distance. We kind of expected it to get to us.
Dive #26
Heidi’s Point
Barren sandy slope
One of those dives that you think that there won’t be much to see apart from the six frogfish, a tiny cuttlefish, beautiful crab on a sea pen and a travelling Shaun the sheep slug, which we rescued and put back on it’s leaf.
Good dive.
Back at the resort, it is now lunchtime. Richard had carbonara. Guess what I had…
Had a nap!
Dive #27
Sun View
There is so much to see on this dive site.
Yellow pygmy seahorse
Pink pygmy seahorse
Big fat orange and black pyjama slug
Many nudis and a flabelina
Our surface interval was spent watching the new large group of Americans. Not sure if they are joining the Americans that are already here. The group totals twelve now. Lots of organising going on.
Dive #28
Manit corner
Just us with Nannie, as is normally the case on the night dive.
It was the search for the harlequin shrimp which, of course, Nannie found.
Also black and white shrimp in black and white featherstar, many nudis too.
We did an alternate air source ascent at the end of the dive. In the dark? Interesting!
At the bar now…
A very delicious tea of baby back ribs, fries and coleslaw followed by camera stuff, picture stuff and sleep.
