Today started out with some snorkeling at a beautiful beach we found up the coast- this picture doesnt do it justice. Crystal blue water, white sandy beach and palm trees scattered everywhere. It was the first sandy beach we actually found here.
Then we moved on to the Manta Ray Dive.... which was going to be our first night dive- something I have always sworn I would never do! (but then I also swore I would never dive, or jump off a boat, or get my advanced certification- which I have now done all of!). Len enjoyed the dive- we didnt see manta's but we did see a Cuttlefish which is our favorite sea creature so that was pretty special! I, on the other hand, hated it so much that I swore I would never dive again. Huge waves on the boat made me seasick. The water was so cold and I was shivering so much that I had to hold my regulator (air flow) in my mouth so it would not fall out. Oh and then there was Frank. Frank is an eel, about 4 feet long. He likes to go up to the night divers with flash lights and slither thru your legs and around your neck. He started to come toward me and I screamed under the water. Len saved me, of course! Phew! We didnt get any good pictures of the night dive because we didnt have a good flash on the camera- but the third picture above is an eel we saw before the sun went down- that is what Frank looked like.
