Another great afternoon with the DMs from Coconut Tree Divers! This site was called Fish Den, just outside the West End beach area. We spent about an hour down to a max depth of just over 71 feet. Ok, I should confess that everyone else went to the agreed upon max depth of 60 feet. I, as Andrew will readily tell you, am known to "wander off from the herd" and neglected to notice immediately that I was somewhat further down than I was supposed to be. Tom, the DM finally got my attention and signaled me back up. Oops! Oh well, I always say it's better to beg forgiveness...which I did back on the boat. "No worries," he said with a smile.

I love these tube things. Some are so huge, you could crawl inside. |

Turtle! Seeing one never gets old. |

I wish the fish looked as colorful on the pictures as they do in person. You'll just have to join us, next time! |

Andrew going through a little channel. We turned left at the "fork" and swam through the little tunnel for about 20 yards. |
Sadly, that's it for the diving portion of this trip. We've had great luck with Andrew's ears, so won't push it. He's had some really terrible problems afterwards on previous trips, and each time he has them we worry about permanent damage that would preclude future dives.
I am so glad you both got to dive twice this time. The pictures are so interesting. Are those tubes hard or soft? You had a great day!
ReplyDeleteYou're not supposed to touch the reef, or it can kill it. They don't move around in the current, however, so I assume they are more on the hard side.
DeleteYay two dives!
ReplyDeleteYou mentioned earlier the water not being as blue, but from the pictures it sure seems clear.
