Rain and Caves

About 4am, the lights shut off in the dining room while I was working on my slugs.  I still worked on them though.  The show must go on!  (They fixed the light just before breakfast.)

I only have like four and a half more days of diving.  I need to find at least 13 more slugs to get to a respectable 200.  We will see.

I feel good.  Not tired.  Not sick.  Able to do all the dives.  It’s awesome.

It rained so hard in the morning that it delayed our dives.  In all the times I have been here, I don’t think that has ever happened.  It appears that rainy season has come early this year.

We found some really interesting nudis at Pool Party and then the caves.  It was really warm and just a couple of easy dives.  We even saw some shark eggs.

On my afternoon dive, I found the little strip that changes the size of the snoot light.  It was just laying there waiting for me.  I am glad to have found it.  I figured out how to shoot video (super awkward) but now I don’t know how to focus.  I saw a Siphonophore in the water column and tried to shoot it like I would in Blackwater.  I failed miserably.  I also used my snoot to take some pictures of a pregnant Pedersen Cleaner Shrimp.


The night dive was good, but I am jealous because the other dive team found a Miamira!

Here is my list:

189 - Phyllidia cf. elegans


190 - Tritoniopsis elegans


191 - Coryphellina flamma


192 - Doriprismatica sibogae


193 - Plocamopherus pecoso


194 - Baeolidia moebii


195 - Doto sp. (red doto)
