Another beautiful day. Flat sea and blue skies. Fabulous.
Richard was up at 4.50 and I was woken by Richard at six with a drink and biscuits.
After breakfast of scrambled eggs we got ready for diving.
Dive #33
Saim Sim
Sandy slope
Two octopus
One was a minic octopus and the other was bigger in a large shell.
Lots and lots of sea pens and various accompanying seahorses and shrimps
The surface interval was spent reaching Japanese strawberry chocolate for those that could. Our Japanese buddies finish diving today and so brought treats on the boat.
Dive #34
Heidi’s Point
Another sandy slope further along the coast
Many frogfish on this dive.
A huge mantis shrimp
Shaun the sheep slugs
Shrimps
Flabelina
We are back at the dive resort at about 11.30.
Just right for sorting ourselves out, an early lunch and a swim.
BLT and tuna ceviche for lunch.
No nap today but a swim in the pool and picture work.
Dive #35
Koala
This is the site we go to if the current fish is on the prowl.
Beautiful coral slope down to sand.
Lots to see, nicely positioned slugs and a little bit of current
Quick surface interval
Dive #36
Twin Rocks
We went in between the rocks and the block. It wasn’t until we got to about 20 metres that the current picked up. We went up to the shallows to spend the rest of the dive out of the current. Shortest dive at 50 minutes.
We spoke to Brenda from the large American group for a while at the bar.
We went to dinner and, shock horror, someone was on our table!!! We had to use a different one!!
Absolutely knacked.
Darryl and Diane are arriving at 10pm. Unfortunately, I fell asleep and Richard went to meet them on his own. Obviously, with captain, crew and staff
