Another great day in paradise


For whatever reason, I woke up at 5:30 just to see the sun rise. I was awake already so I figured I'd take some nice pics of the island while the sun was coming up. The internet here gets me hopeful, a webpage will half load and then the router will crap out leading me to mash the F5 key more than I have to. Phillip jokes that the wind isn't good enough today to bring the internet signal to the island.

Alex and I were told to meet Phillip in the dive shop at 8am to get started bright and early. The plan was to check out the nearest shipwreck in the bay. When we got there, I was suprised by a huge school of jackfish, just hundreds of them swimming by.


After that dive, Alex and Phillip did their certification lessons and messed around too.


I had a huge lunch and took a nap promptly afterwards because why not? At 3:30 it was time for Alex to continue his diving lessons and I jumped in and did some snorkeling. It's really unbelievable how shallow the reef is here, I stood up and the water was only up to my knees. I was happy to see a clownfish in it's natural habitat. Just like in the movie!


Tomorrow I think we'll have to take a boat to the shipwreck area we'll be doing 3 dives at. It'll be a full day thing from 8am to 3 which should be fun. I asked Alex if he missed being at work and he responded with an immediate "NOPE!". MAN I am really enjoying this leg of the trip, it's just so ridiculously peaceful here.
