Dive day #8
Opening the blinds we are greeted with another flat calm day, nice.
We head down to breakfast and are reminded that we have been here over a week as it is once again bacon day. Hurrah, eggs and bacon again, love the traditional Filipino dishes ????????
We continue to monitor the banana situation back home, just waiting to hear of the first successful prosecution due to illegal banana removal.
Dive #29
19.8 metres, 73 minutes, -27 degrees
Coconut Point
So, the first dive of the day, Coconut Point. One of our favourites, consisting of a sandy slop (which is a bit of a muck dive) then it levels out at around 18m where there is a garden of black corals (which are white!) interspersed with small coral outcrops. We spend a while there taking pictures of shrimps and crabs before heading back up the slope where, towards the end of the dive, we find Shaun the Sheep nudi and a small red frog fish.
Back at the surface Christian gets his drone out for some footage of the surrounding area and lands it back at the boat (twice!).
Dive #30
18.6.metres, 72 minutes, 28 degrees
Red Palm
This was to be a dive on Apols Point but the current fish had arrived so we turned back and we went to Red Palms which (I think) is the first time we dived it.
It turns out that the current fish was coming here too but we still managed to find plenty of things to photograph.
Back to base we dine on B.L.T and Pancit Canton with vegetables and then take a dip in the pool before resting before the afternoon dive.
Dive #31
24.4 metres, 62 minutes, 27 degrees
Twin rocks
A superb bimble around amongst nudis and shrimps, lots too see on yet another site that fails to disappoint.
After this we have a bit of a wait because we said booked on our second black water dive!
One again, we there ourselves into the deep (literally!) to see what we can see.
Dive #32
21.6 metres, 64 minutes, 28 degrees
Black water dive #2
Not so much this time though we did have some jelly fish and the usual seahorse on a bit of debris floating around.
Back to base for Prinks and Dinner which this evening consists of Shanghai Rolls, vegetables in coconut and fried rice. Then we retire/collapse/pass out!!
