Up early as usual.
I thought I would really shake things up this morning… I forwent the fried eggs and opted for mashed banana and peanut butter on toast. I appreciate that this will set the proverbial cat amongst the proverbial pigeons but I thought it was rather good. Shame the Philippines’ peanut butter was packed full of sugar but it made a nice change.
It’s not raining at the moment…
It’s not windy either…
Dive #25
Kirby’s Rock
Lovely dive. The wall was beautiful as always but we basically ignored it. We went around the base looking for things to take pictures of. Moved up the slope on the other side and found some Christmas tree worms.
During the surface interval we stopped at Bethlehem village, where I hopped off to get a picture of the goats.
Then we moved to Olympic for the rest of our surface interval.
Everyone looks nice and warm…
Dive #26
Olympic
Thoroughly enjoyed this dive. Coral outcrops at the top and wobble lower down. Right at the beginning, I found an anemone with posing sexy shrimp. That was a good start.
We also saw lots of fire urchins with Coleman shrimps and zebra crabs. A fast running tiger shrimp, running straight for us.
The funniest thing was a cowfish deciding that Richard would make a nice home. It loved the leggings. I was laughing so much. After some time I managed to encourage it away with my hand, only for it to decide that my hand would be a nice home. Couldn’t stop laughing. Nanny built it a home and I encouraged it. So, all safe and sound.
Everyone is still looking toasty.
Dinner was good. BLT and spag bol.
No nap after lunch. Instead, I blogged and did pictures for the blog. See, not quite so useless.
Dive #27
Sun View
Incredibly fine sand on this slope with small outcrops. Touch the sand and you disappear in a puff of sand.
Vis was poor, down to a meter or two at times.
Lots to take pictures of though.
A quick turnaround as only us doing the last dive of the day. Back in the water at 5.10pm
Dive #28
Bubbles
Fabulous last dive of the day
Just us and Nanny on the dive site. Dark quite quick.
Lots to see. Lots to take pictures of.
A fair bit of current at the end.
Nice long dive 🤫🤫
Back at the resort before 6.45pm.
At the bar for a Royal and a couple of Red Horse.
Dinner was baby back ribs, coleslaw and fries. Absolutely delicious!
Camera stuff and bogging before bed.
