Welcome to another day off fun under the sea!
The first dive is at Secret Bay where we saw nudi’s various, shrimps of several kinds, frog fish of many colours (black, red, yellow and a small red and white one). One particular nudie is now known as the Holiday Nudi as a picture of it was referred to as the picture of the holiday so far!
Back on the boat for coffee and biscuits we move up the coast a little to Siam Sim.
We drop in once the surface interval completes and see octopus, frog fish, flabellina and an obliging sea horse.
After a quick dip in the pool we dine on Spaghetti Carbonara and BLT for lunch.
After a bit of a snooze in the sun, we head out once more, this time to Arthur’s Rock in an attempt to find the Rhinopia at 25m in the rubble area, well, hats off to our guide Nani, he found it!
After some time with the Rhinopia, we head to shallower waters to see more of the usual suspects.
After the surface interval we attempt to dive Viveri but the current fish were there so we headed around the corner to Koala for a hard coral dive which turned up a large white nudi which I’d not taken pictures of previously.
Back at base is cocktail time, I started with the ‘Anilao Matic’, an interesting blend of spirits and sour mix!
Dinner was Tuna sisig, black peppered prawns, rice and mango salad.
This was followed by an early night on account of being completely whacked!
