Sharks!

Up about 6:30, lounged, had breakfast, wrote in journal. About 8:30, headed to Big Bubble for my dive. We're going to Shark Point. The dive master (DM) gives me a briefing, we go through the signals, etc., and shortly after 9:00, we got on the boat for the 15 minute boat trip to the other side of the island.

Had a good dive, lots of fishes, saw a couple of white-tipped reef sharks, over 1 metre long. Also saw a big green turtle feeding on coral. Cool! We were down for about 45 minutes.

Back to the dive shop, logged the dive, then back to the room.

I was the only paying diver, then I had the DM, and another guy that works at Big Bubble came along.

Went and had lunch, then hit internet for a short bit, then back to the room, and headed back to Big Bubble about 1:30. We headed over to Gili Meno to dive Meno Slope, saw another shark, and lots and lots of small fish. Nice dive. Spent 51 minutes under this time.

Back to teh office, logged that dive, paid my bill (440,000 rupiah), back the room, showered.

Went to a restaraunt showing an episode of "Sex and the City", then "Pirates of the Carribean" and had supper, then back to the room about 9:30. Very tired, diving is tiring. Talked to Bridget for a bit, then to bed.
