Today was another beautiful day in the Philippines. The sun was shining and the breeze was blowing. Eric managed to get up and get out the door this morning without waking me up. I must have been dead to the world. I finally woke up around 6:30 and wandered down to the restaurant to join him. Jordan then joined us a short time later.
We ordered our standard mangos for breakfast along with mango juice, eggs, and toast with mango jam. Jordan is hooked now too, so he has to have at least one or two mangos a day.
Our first dive was to the Sanctuary/airplane site. Eric, Jordan and I got in first with Albert as we like to take it slow and take pictures of everything we see. The Australian family joined Roland to go and see the airplane and then cruise around the reef. We got some really good video and photos of some ocellaris clownfish. Jordan got some really good pictures too. We also managed to find a couple different nudibranchs and some other different types of fish.
We came back to the resort to have some lunch and go back out for a second dive around 1:30. Eric and Jordan both had garlic rice for lunch. I think Eric is going to turn into a giant piece of rice. He had garlic rice for lunch and dinner both yesterday. I had my standard chicken sandwich, so I guess I will turn into a chicken soon.
After lunch we headed out for the second dive. We went to a dive site called Palisades. It had a lot of pretty coral and lots of tiny fish and of course tons of turtles. Eric found a huge group of razor fish. He also found a couple of whip coral shrimp.
After we collected everyone up we made our way back to the resort. Eric and Jordan decided they would do a night dive tonight. So we hung out for a few hours and looked at a few pictures and some of my video before they headed out for their night dive around 6 p.m.
Dinner will be late tonight. I ordered ahead to have their food ready around 7:00 or 7:15 so they can have it as soon as they get back from their dive. They ended up getting back around 7:20 or so. They saw lots of lion fish, lots of decorator crabs, and Jordan actually found a sea snake.
