I did three more dives today, Emily joined the boat to go snorkeling for the first two then took some free time on dry land in the afternoon.
The water was a little cloudy, there’s a lot of wind here but Emily thinks it’s windier this year. The wind churns some stuff up and may influence the currents. Sounds like the Sahara dust we had along with the fires last year is on it’s way.
I play follow the leader while diving and today we did a swim through. It was pretty narrow, there’s was a wider one on the left but I went through. It’s hard to know what my actual space is as I don’t usually have all the equipment on.
They aren’t sending us out in separate boats from the group divers this year. It’s a little disappointing. We end up diving relatively close together and we cross paths at times with other groups as well. Today there was a guy that started following us and then he was passed off to the other group from Splash Inn and the DM there got him reoriented to his group.
Even though we dive close we all don’t see the same things. I don’t worry about what I see on any given dive, if I don’t see something maybe I’ll see it on the next dive.
While we were at dinner tonight Nelson was walking by and he said that he is starting his own tour business down by the Roundabout. He was hoping to get us to tour with him, he is a good sales guy and has a big personality. Hopefully he does well, I’m sure he will give it a good effort! We already committed to going with Kevin’s tour company on Thursday so we weren’t able to do anything with him but maybe next year. It just depends on where we go and if we have time for extra excursions. We’ll probably have to split them up since they’ve both been good to us.
Be safe!
Traveling with Emily!
