Dive Day #15
Looks like it rained last night. Very high humidity, clocking in at 86%.
Very calm here today, unlike myself, who is feeling a little grumpy that my omelette was under cooked. Richard decided that it couldn’t be left, so he ate it after he had eaten his breakfast. Turns out that his uncomfortable tummy is my fault! Hmmm…
Here are a few pictures of our trip out to Caban Cove…
Dive #51
Kavan Cove
A very relaxed dive. On a coral slope.
Some nicely positioned Cinderella nudis, swarms of red tooth trigger fish, lots of small stuff to take pictures of.
Lots of fire urchins in one place. Probably fifty urchins huddled together between the coral.
The surface interval was spent in the next cove along from Caban Cove.
Dive #52
Tres Cuevas
We dived this many years ago, not for ages.
Another coral slope.
I spent quite a while with a peacock mantis shrimp, a coral infested with Christmas tree worms and lots of interesting small stuff.
Back at the resort, I went to the office to find out about Dianne, it looks like she is going back in the chamber for another two and a half hours because she is not quite right yet.
Lunch was a BLT and fries for me and spaghetti carbonara for Richard.
Across to the island for the afternoon.
Dive #53
Coconut Point
The last one on Richard’s “I want to dive list”.
A sandy slope with an oasis of black coral, which is actually white, small outcrops and lots of barrel sponge.
Very relaxed dive, no waves or current.
During our surface interval, we relocated to east on Apol’s Point. This is the furthest east we have dived on this island.
Dive #54
Apol’s Point East
Coral outcrops in sand on a gentle slope.
Again there were so many red toothed trigger fish. It was like a wall of fish. Unbelievable!
If I had my head in an outcrop taking a picture, I would look up and be surrounded by fish. So cool!
We saw all sorts of things. A group of four cream nudis together, shrimps, lots of other stuff.
Back at the resort, we see a message from Darryl who has been at the hospital all day, saying that Dianne is fixed and should be discharged today, but it could be late. Good news!
Spent some time chatting to other guests and bar then we had dinner with Brendan and Vicky. We had BBQ pork on skewers, fried rice and lumpia.
Photo stuff after dinner, then sleep.
