Bob Marley Nudi

I slept in until 5am.  Whoa!  That is the latest I have slept in so far!  We had another power outage right at 6am today.

We had two very nice dives in the morning.  

On the first dive Bobby said we were going to see the Bob Marley nudibranch. What?  We had never heard of that.  He meant the Tenellia melanobranchia.  So funny!



After the first dive, my computer said the “do not go” sign and a time of 3 hours right next to the mountains.  Both were colored yellow.  I went to the Altitude on my computer and it said 100 ft.  I never set it to that.  So I went back down to Sea Level.  It didn’t go away immediately but after the second dive it was gone.  Weird.

I also pulled out my hidden backup dive computer.  Doh.  Its battery ran out.  I have another battery so I changed it over lunch.  It is good to have a second computer just in case the first one fails.

At lunch we had a delicious fish dish and then Pirjo and I got to talking about the Poisson Cru dish in Tahiti.  Now I am craving that.  Yum!

The afternoon dive was nice and we found lots of interesting slugs.  I tried to take another snoot shot with my left strobe.  So awkward.  I feel like I should only snoot when conditions are PERFECT.

The night dive brought lots of treats and I even tried to snoot again on a Goniobranchus fidelis.  I’m not sure my results were great, but they were interesting.  We also saw a mutant nudi!
