Today was our last day of diving so we got up early again to do the shark dive at Monad Shoal. I decided not to even try diving today as my head was still plugged up, but I rode out on the boat with them. Our group actually went out about 30 minutes later than usual.
Eric decided to do some video on his camera since I had not gotten any good video of the thresher sharks yet. He figured it might be even better going out later today. He thought there might be fewer boats and fewer people and the lighting would be better. They got really lucky. They had at least three sharks circling around at the cleaning station and they came in really close. Eric got some excellent video. One video actually has two sharks swimming together.
The second dive we went out to Bogtang bato, which was one of the first dive sites that we went to the day after we got here. This time there was no current like there was the first time. Eric got lots of good nudibranch pictures and some good pictures of another extremely shy pigmy seahorse.
The third dive we went out to Chocolate island again. Eric really enjoyed that dive yesterday and wanted to try it again with his fisheye lens. He had fun playing around with strobe placement, etc., and got a few photos.
We had a relaxing evening at the Craic House, even though it was a bit on the hot and steamy side with very little wind. We had fun talking with one of the owners and his fiancee and a bunch of other people we have met during our trip.
