Jim's first words this morning were "oh crap, another day of sunny skies and flat seas." :))))
Today we dove Calvin's Crack, a great dive. Just what it sounds like: a giant crack under the sea. Lots of light in it though. It was quite long then we went along a wall and finished up on top of the reef. LOTS of seahorses on this dive
We did the drop off dive at Newman's Wall. They drop you off on a flat area so it's a little misleading--you're wondering "where's the wall"????? But you keep heading in the correct direction and there it is. FANTASTIC visibility today. Really nice.
After lunch we got back on the boat to do Golden Chain. AWESOME AWESOME dive. Great wall, with overhangs, and draping sea fans, sponges, etc. then areas of staghorn coral and cabbage leaf coral. Fascinating topography. Never seen anything like it. We saw 3 lionfish on this dive--the most so far. We skipped the drop off dive. My ears were getting sore after this dive.
Most of our dives have been over one hour. We're diving nitrox, it is definitely lenghthening our bottom time. I also am not feeling tired and fatigued as much after the dives. (later after dinner and a couple of drinks is another story :) )
We're sitting in the club house right now at happy hour listening to a live band. They're actually pretty good. We're thinking about getting their cd.
This has been a GREAT trip so far!
