We awoke to some disturbing news. Judy had been viciously attacked by a gekko last night.
On returning to their room after dinner, Judy pulled the curtains and a gekko ran from behind the curtains and across the ceiling. From there, the gekko leaped directly onto Judy’s head! Much exclamation was to be heard, from Judy not the gekko.

We were down in the camera room about 6.30, prepping the cameras for the morning’s dives
This was shortly followed by breakfast of omelette on toast with a couple of glasses of watermelon juice.

We set out early this morning. Left the resort just after 7.30 for Kirby’s Rock on the other island.
Two pinnacles, one close to the surface with the top at about 2m and the bottom at about 24m,the other has a top at about 22m and the bottom at about +40m.
The second is absolutely covered in small yellow sea cucumbers.
Yellow pygmy seahorse at 26m.
Lots of other critters, slugs, frogfish and Christmas tree worms.
Excellent dive.
We moved over to the Olympic dive site where we had our surface interval. Hot drinks and biscuits.
Olympic
Sand and coral outcrops at the top and rubble further down.
We saw two harlequin shrimps and a tiger shrimp
Lots of fire urchin
Lots of mushroom coral
We got back to Buceo by about 11.30, so Richard and I went for a dip in the pool before lunch. Lovely and warm.
My lunch was the usual BLT with fries but others tried the tomato soup, ham and cheese sandwich with fries and a burger with mushrooms and fries.
We had time to relax on our balcony before the next dive. It was rather hot, hot, hot.
The next dive was at 2.00pm.
Arthur’s Rock
We saw a bloody huge current fish
Have a new buddy with us this afternoon. Has yellow fins, just saying.
At one point, Richard had to move in to protect me when I was taking a picture of a nudi under a ledge, the nudi was not so lucky. 😔
Generally, it is not easy to take pictures in a raging current. This dive was no exception
We had a quick stop off at the resort for hot drinks and biscuits before setting out for the fourth dive.
Bubbles
One of our favourite sites, where bubbles come up from the ground due to tectonic activity. One area is so hot that you can’t put your hand there for any length of time.
A bit of current and Viz was down.
Lots of slugs. Took pictures of yellow cup coral on the wall and a friendly slug in the sand.
Found the boat eventually.😊😊
Another good diving day.
Cocktails at the bar before a very comprehensive dinner.
Dishes on the table were Pork sisig, Shanghai lumpia, vegetable lumpia, sweet and sour chicken, vegetables in coconut sauce, fried rice, mash potato and coleslaw.
Plenty!!
Some photo work before passing out. 😊😔
