Diving....Superb!

I got up about 10:00, by the time I got up, Court had already went for a swim and a run. We had breakfast, I had an American breakfast that came with 2 fried eggs, 2 big sausages, 1 huge bowl of muesli with cold milk, 3 pieces of toast, tea and a huge (milkshake size) glass of orange juice. Way too much food, but I did eat most of it! Food is expensive on the island too, I paid more for the breakfast than I would have back in Canada.

We went to Turtle Bay Divers about noon and got fitted up into our gear, then waited around for the other divers. Our Dive Master is Tyler, and he's from...get this...Saskatoon! His sister is also a Dive Master and she's leading the other group of divers.

We went over the dive plan, then loaded our stuff into the boat and sped to The Pinnacle (the name of the dive site).

The boat is a speedboat (all the dive operations use small speedboats here), it had twin 90HP Mercury outboard motors on it, and it flies. Getting there was half the fun!

The dive was AWESOME. (Did I was say it was *AWESOME*?) EAsily the best dive we've ever had, saw reef sharks (not very exciting, they just sit under rocks and don't swim around), blue spotted sting rays, huge 6-banded angelfish (12" or longer), along with a huge moray eel, and some small ones, and barracuda. It was amazing, and the visibility was great.

We got back to the island about 3:15, then went over the dive and got our log books filled in and stamped.

We went swimming for a while, until after 5:00, then showered, had a shake (Mars bar shake..Mmm). Court had an M&M shake, we did a crossword puzzle, chatted with an Irish girl we met on the boat, then went to our restaurant and hda their seafood BBQ. I had kingfish, Court had barracuda. The kingfish was pretty good, the barracuda was ok, but Court much preferred the kingfish. We watched Shallow Hal at the restaurant. Well, most of it, the DVD started skipping badly about 3/4 of the way into the movie, so they put another movie in, National Security.

Got to bed about 11:00.
