I was up early today, 5:30 or so. Read in bed till around 7 and then got ready for breakfast. I ate in the hotel restaurant today and had a nice leisurely breakfast and 3 cups of coffee, read my book and watch the people go by. I did not finish till around 9:15 or so. Went to the beach in front of our hotel today for the first time, had a swim and read on the beach till almost […]
Breakfast at Rosa’s again. French toast for everyone. The first dive today we went out to a site called Jeff’s rock; another deep dive, 77 feet. Lots of nice coral, but the vis was not great. Â Today was the first time Meghan got to try out her new underwater housing on her camera. The winds have started to calm down, so we were able to do our first dive on the east side of the island. A dive site called […]
Today was Carolyn’s first open water dives as a certified diver. Meghan and I went out with her today and it was great. Looks like she is haivng fun. The second dive Meghan had to stay behind and work on her classroom stuff for her rescue diver certification. (She was not happy to miss a dive)
Got breakfast done with and were off to the dive shop. First dive of the day was to Jake’s Place. Nice dive, some bicolor damselfish, a few Atlantic Spade fish and tons of Squirrel fish. After a brief (30 min) break when we were back at the dive shop it was on to the second dive of the day, and Carolyn’s last certification dive. This dive was called Turtle Rock –although we did not see any turtles! We did see a Sting Ray hiding in the sand, some grey angel fish and a huge 3.5-4 foot grouper. This was a fairly shallow dive with lots of bottom time. (63 min) We saw lots of fish and nice coral.
Carolyn’s first open water dives today and our first dives on little corn. Our first dive was out to Stanley’s Reef, shallow dive, (as were both dives today, max depth 41 and 30 feet respectively). Had an issue with my underwater flash, it looks like the little slave flooded and is toast. I was able to come up with a work around, but it may need a little tweaking before I am really happy. First dive we saw a sting ray with a fish that was hitching a ride along top. The second dive was a mix of different fish, puffers, small sting ray, conch and of course some lobster.
