Pool 2!

We could not wake up this morning - Callie had to pull the two of us out of bed for breakfast at 9. No sign of Bonnie and Tyrone!  After the quick breakfast we stroll over to the dive center  We are lazy and the bodies tired after the long travel. The diving guys are great - Kiwi dive master (owner) who knows all about rugby with French assistant! 

He does a proper briefing, especially for Luc who has not dived since the Mauritius trip. It is a 200m walk/swim to the house reef. We go down to 3 meters and do some basic skills before starting the dive. It is really very pretty with beautful coral and lots of little fish. The highlight of the day is the pipefish on the sand and the leaf fish at the end. Luc does very well - great on air consumption and we end up doing a 75 minute dive.

I must add that when carrying the dive equipment I could feel 50 creeping up!  With the orientation dive behind us we can now focus on some more serious diving!

We hit the bed when we get back to the hotel. Still very tired. Luc decides to go to the gym - ends up in the garden with Bonnie and Tyron drinking defac coffee and eating sweats!  Luc ventures into the village with Bonnie and Tyrone. One dollar for a Coke at the hotel and .80 cents for one in the village (and they are not the big cans we are used too!).

Luc makes friends with one of the young men working as a waiter and they play a few pool games. I still plan to go to the gym - but to find the energy!!! Perhaps tomorrow!!
