We had four very different dives today. First dive was at Palancar Caves. Very few fish, but great formations. Tons of swim-thrus and tall coral. I really enjoyed the swim-thrus this year; guess I’m more comfortable in the current now.
Dive two was an E ticket ride. The current had us flying. We saw lots of stuff, but there was no time to stop and look, much less take pictures. Connie is playing with her camera settings to try and get better pictures. Two guys on the boat have the same camera and they are showing her all kinds of neat stuff. In the picture of the turtle, that’s me behind it, cool huh. This picture will probably end up on the Edie Wall.
The afternoon dive was on Paradise Reef again and it was the opposite of the E ticket ride. Going out there was almost no current. I could swim over and see what everyone found. It was great. Then the current picked up going the opposite direction so we turned around and drifted back I was a happy camper after this dive, it was my kind of dive.
Night dive: Best night dive we have ever done. We had pretty much decided that night diving wasn’t all it was cracked up to be, but tonight might have changed our minds. We saw at least six octopuses, a dozen big crabs, nurse shark, ells and other critters of the night walking and slithering around. Days don’t get much better than this one.
