I only dive three more nights (10/11/12th) of Blackwater before I have to sit out a day on the 13th and then fly early in the morning on the 14th. How does time zip by so fast?
Linda picked this week because of the moon. There is lots of debate in the Blackwater world if that helps with better dives. Or if it is the tides. Or the depth below us. Or the season of the year. Or if the lighted line "soaks" for an hour before we roll in. Everyone has their theories but nobody has the hard data.
I finished another book called Warm Bodies by John Marrs. It was really just a short story, but freaky.
I had another quiet morning working on my IDs and enhancing my Blackwater photos.
Over lunch we solved the mystery of the missing cookies last night. Apparently after Bryan woke up, he came back to the dining room and saw them sitting there. And nobody was in sight. So he just swiped them all! What!?!?! I told him that he owes me a cookie!
The afternoon dive was kinda slow, but we did find at least three or four new nudis for the trip.
I have knighted the guy who helps us into our BCD and fins our "SCUBA Valet". I mean, this is the easiest diving ever. They bring the cameras from the camera room to the boat, hand in our cameras to us after we roll in the water and also take the cameras back to the rinse tank outside the camera room.
On both blackwater dives, there were squid everywhere surrounding us and inking.
The guides do this thing where the "flick" the eel and it curls up in a tight spiral circle with its head at the center. Linda explained that it does this so it can protect its head. Smart.
On the surface interval between blackwater dives, I had fried noodles and Linda and Bryan had chicken sandwiches. Bryan puked his up after the dive so he didn't want any treats. I got his! It was a spongy chocolate cake thing. Yum.
