Dive Day #10
Well, this is the first day of the second half of our adventure. For the next few days we have a different guide (Eric) as Nanie is away for the week. We await with much interest to see how he copws with us!
I’m sure that with sufficient induction and training, he’ll be able to cope with our desires.
Breakfast was the usual combination of eggs and other stuff and I sneaked away a couple of bananas for us to forget to eat for morning snacks.
… And yet again, we forget to eat them!
Dive #31 Kirbys Rock
We arrive just after the first boat and end up hanging on the back of it. This means that after entry we have to swim towards the wall before making our descent.
Eric keeps us busy with lots of small things to see and then Jo finds the larger orange nudi which was just awesome.
There were several boats on the site at the same time which meant that parts of the dive were diver soup. Fortunately not the boys that we were on!
Back on board it’s coffee and orios time as we spend our surface interval over the second site.
Dive #32 Cavan Cove.
Eric is finding lots of small stuff including a purple winged unicorn nudi, another lovely dive.
Back to base for a brief inter lude and lunch stop as we have one again bought the afternoon dive forward to 2.00pm.
Fillet of fish in a white wine source for me whilst Jo sticks with her regular (BLT and fries)
Dive #33 Elmers Point.
Another excellent dive work plenty to see, many coral outcrops on an otherwise sandy slope.
Dive #34 Twin Rocks
Off to a good start with a harlequin shrimp with eggs.
Not the most willing subject but I snapped away regarless. This was followed by a collection of micro nudi’s and shrimp and ended with the bog pink one with yellow gills etc alongside a baby one. At least the baby faced my way!
Back at base after a brief interlude at the bar we head over to dinner which tonight consisted of tuna sisig, pancit vegitables and shanghai Rolls, super yum.
