I woke up really early and worked on identifying my nudis. I only had a couple for Pirjo to review.
I got a little out of breath on the first dive with some current. I even showed Nikko my PSI at 1000 since we were still down kinda deep. He showed me exactly where the boat was though and I felt pretty comfortable.
During our surface interval, there were two kinds of dolphin swimming in a huge pod together. Spinner and melon head. There were sooo many of them.
The second dive was so warm, no current… and I forgot about the beautiful wall here. Holy cow, it was gorgeous. We found many nudis and we stayed down a long time. THIS is what I came here for. At the end all of the kids were free diving off the dock.
At lunch, I jumped up after the meal and grabbed a piece of cake. I totally forgot that they serve you lunch dessert. I hadn’t made it to lunch on my arrival day or the first day of diving, so I forgot how it works!
Yesterday Rhome and Max told a story about these awful guests from Bulgaria. So today they started teasing me that I may need to get a “Bulgarian rating”. That my transgressions here at the resort are getting as bad as the Bulgarians. Oh man, I better shape up!
I jumped the house reef today. It was a little slow at first but then it picked up toward the end.
Dinner was another fabulous meal and I was so tired, I just crashed.
Here are the new nudis today:
