Well, only three more days of diving. I was thinking last night after the night dive that part of the magic of coming here is diving with Nikko. He is the best chill guide who finds and shows me what I’m looking for. And I always know where he is.
The nudi list is slow but I broke my goal of 200, so I am happy with my results. Anything over that is gravy.
Next to the toasters, I noticed a long wooden thing in the basket. It was the length of a cane but had a curve to it. Almost a scoop. I couldn’t figure out what it was. I asked Uri about it at breakfast. He told a story about guy from World Bank staying here and he messaged ahead to ensure that the resort had a shoehorn. I guess he was a really big guy and needed one. Nobody wears shoes here. So they definitely don’t have one. Uri had to get the local guys to carve this one for him. He said he is taking it with him as a momento.
The muck dives were warm with no current. We found quite a bit.
At the end of the first dive, Nikko found a blue ring octopus! He said that it is his first of the season.
One of the other boats found a blue whale and its calf during their surface interval. The guest with the drone sent it up and captured some stunning video.
On my afternoon dive, I took a picture of the lobster living under mooring #2. I was quite taken by the colors on him:
I also found this crazy looking stonefish:
