Found Frogfish

I FaceTimed my family in Joplin during their Thanksgiving meal.  It was really fun to see and talk to everyone for a bit.  I’ll be there for Christmas.

Ben was our guide today and it was just John, Cathy and me on the boat.  We did two reefy currenty dives… and on the second one I found a red frogfish and pointed it out to them.

There are three new divers here who came together from the UK.  Two are a couple and then there is one other guy.  The gal called him her extra dive buddy.  I’ll call them the “Air and a Spare”.

On the night dive I tried again to “snoot like a lady”.  OMG.  Still terrible at it.  And I am not sure my results were all that good.

I put on my meal info that I don’t like tomatoes.  They are doing such a good job of giving me a salad without tomatoes and tonight I got eggplant without tomatoes.  It was so great.

There was a little bit of thunder tonight.

Oh no, my counts are WAY DOWN today.  I attribute this to the sites we went to and the fact that we dove with Ben today instead of Nikko.  I miss Nikko.  He had a stye on one of his eyes.  I wonder if that was why he needed the day off… or if it was just his regular scheduled day off.
