Another two dives this day, one at a site called Paradise and one at a site called Santa Rosa. At Paradise was a 400m reef wall which we explored at about 25m deep. Yet again this was a drift dive although not as rapid as the drifts at Turtle Reef, but this was probably because the sea was like a pond today rather than a tsunami. Thank the lord, that means no sea-sickness this time. On the boat again was Jaap from Holland who gave us the low down on Holland's favourite activity. He also reckons he gave up the green stuff years ago. Yeah right. The diving was again pretty awesome and some amazing sea-life was seen from turtles (again), to lobsters, weird crusty crabs and many mad looking fish. The reef wall was probably the best dive of the lot and what made it better was when Pancho decided to lead us through a small hole in the reef wall into a cave-like tunnel so small that our tanks were banging off the roof. Mega claustrophobia, if you let it get to you! It was here that Hero's arm brushed against a sea fern of some sort as he crawled through the tunnel and promptly received a million stings up his arm which swelled up for the next 4 weeks. When he thanked Pancho for it after, the reply was simply "Yeah they can be nasty, especially when they brush your face". Nice one Pancho!

 

The sea is mega calm today, thank f*ck

Jaap from Holland was a great hive of knowledge on ganja

Waves are almost non-existent, no puking today

Mammoth ferry dwarfs the hotel behind it

At first it looked like an eel but there was something fishy about it

Fish does some acrobatics

Choose your lobster to eat, right from the ocean floor

Crazy fish had gone a bit dotty

Hero was bubbling with excitement

Clubflat in da coral

Angelfish stopped for a quick prayer

Like bendy baseball bats

Another turtle found feeding on the reef wall

Turtle was in this pic but Wolverands aim was as bad as his toilet skills

Wolverand descends down the wall

After a days diving it then pisses down on us

Hero's arm afterwards, stung to f*ck
