HAPPY THANKSGIVING.
It was another beautiful morning. The sun was shining when we got up and headed to the restaurant around 6:45 a.m. We sat and enjoyed the morning and talked with Cyril and Claire. They were leaving around 9 a.m. this morning to head to another island before heading back to Cebu City and then back home to China.
Eric and I both ordered a mango and I ordered two eggs with toast. After breakfast we got our gear ready to go diving at 9 a.m. We were heading out to Pescador island for the first dive. We had a full boat with 11 divers. We broke up into two groups and Eric and I brought up the rear as usual. It was a very beautiful dive. Tons and tons of colorful fish and beautiful hard and soft corals and sponges everywhere. There was not much current for most of the dive, which made it nice. Right at the end we got a pretty strong current but by that time we were ready to head up to the surface.
By the time we made it back to the resort it was about 11:45 so consensus was to have lunch and a break and then go back out around 2 o’clock. Right about the time we got back from the first dive Jordan arrived via car from Cebu City. So after putting his stuff in his room he joined us for some lunch.
After lunch Jordan headed back to his room to get his stuff together so he could join us for the 2 o’clock dive. We had another full boat with 13 divers for the second dive. We went just down the shore to check out the sardines. The reef is not really very good there, but the main attraction is the sardines. However, I did see quite a few nudibranchs, a banded pipefish, and a turtle amongst the millions of sardines that were blocking the sunlight at times.
After we got back to the resort Eric and I got cleaned up and then headed down to the restaurant to check out our photos and video and had a nice visit with Anneliek (proper spelling this time). She is the young Dutch doctor that has been diving with us the last few days. She is quite the world traveler and very fun to talk with and share stories.
Eric and I ordered our vegetarian spaghetti carbonara to split for dinner again and of course our ice cream bars. Then Jordan joined us a bit later. He got cleaned up after diving and laid down on his bed and fell asleep. I can’t blame him. We were really tired the first day we got here too, but boy did we sleep good that first night.
