Dive Day #17
It’s raining. Has been windy overnight but that has decreased somewhat.
Also, I have a bit of a runny nose and a tickly throat…
After breakfast we set out to the other island to shelter from the wind.
Dive #59
Daryl Laut
Casino wreck
A very gentle descent. Ears clear but a bit of pain in my right cheek. I was very careful about not going up and down too much. At about 22m when I turned to look at Richard my head spun. Best not look at Richard!!
A gentle assent back to the boat.
We saw lots of nudis, including a psychedelic and the wreck obviously.
We went to Aguhuta for our safety stop. Coffee, Oreos and lollies.
Watching divers from another boat who appeared to be doing their PADI open water. Most interesting. Looked like six or seven students to one instructor.
Dive #60
Aguhuta
The first thing we saw was the divers from the other boat, one of which was standing on the reef and the instructor adjusting his BCD. Wow!
Again, a very gentle descent on coral outcrops on a slope.
We saw all sorts of critters including porcelain crabs in anemones, more psychedelic slugs.
At the end of the dive my mask started to fill up. So I cleared it and something stung my eyeball. Cleared again, stung again. The pain was awful. I told Nanny that I was going straight up (stop already done). At the surface I took my mask straight off. Rubbed my eye and the eyelid had been stung. It was red and puffy for a little bit but did calm down quite quickly.
Back to the resort for lunch BLT and fries for me and chicken with noodles for Richard.
Just us on the boat this afternoon. We head out about 1.30pm
Dive #61
Bubbles
A bit of current, not my best dive, not feeling too great.
I spotted a green painted frogfish. We also saw many nudis and shrimps.
The surface interval was spent at Mainit Corner. We tied on the back of another Buceo boat. Jerich from the other boat came over for sweeties.
Dive #62
Mainit Corner
Fabulous dive. Just us and Nanny on the dive site. Divers in the other two boats had got out by the time we got in.
Such an amazing dive site. The topography, the colours, the critters. Amazing!
We saw a dragon shrimp, a huge swimming scorpion fish, many nudis, some large some small.
Once we got back to the resort, I spent an hour relaxing in the room whilst Richard was entertained by Darryl and Dianne at the bar.
When I came down we had dinner. Two lumpia, sweet and sour chicken with fried rice.
After dinner, photos. We got some nice shots today.
Light off before 9pm.
