Yesterday after we got somewhat settled in we did our first dive of the trip. We just wanted to do an easy dive off the house reef to check out our equipment and weighting, etc. We saw cuttlefish, ornate ghost pipefish, moray eel, catfish, just to name a few. By the time we got back we were pretty tired.
They were doing a thresher shark dive this morning at 5 a.m. but I told Eric I was just too tired and thought it would be best if we slept in instead, which is what we did. Of course they ended up seeing three threshers and three different rays on that dive. Oh well.
We did the 9:30 a.m. dive and the 1p.m. dive. The first dive had some good current and the visibility was not too good but we ended up seeing some nudibranchs, clownfish, batfish, a cuttlefish and most importantly we saw our first pigmy seahorse. Eric actually got some good pictures of it too. The second dive was much shallower, but we saw lots of interesting stuff like several different types of pipefish, nudibranchs, crabs, clownfish, etc.
Then, of course the food...I have been having mango juice with just about every meal. Last night we had a chicken and eggplant fettucini with pesto sauce that was really good and today for lunch we had the roast lemongrass chicken sandwich with garlic aioli. For an afternoon snack before dinner I had the deep fried camembert with a walnut crust and mango salsa that was awesome and we ordered the chicken escalope in a butter lime sauce, “fireslaw” and Asian potato cakes that was also good.
