I have a wonderful breakfast at the beautiful Buddha Cafe on the beachfront - cinnamon roll French Toast (very healthy!). Pictured here is Erin (from Frankfurt) on the cafe deck. Then I have a morning of classroom before our two dives in the afternoon.
The first dive is to a site called Twins (photo above). The dive is 12 metres deep around some underwater pinnacles and we see a Trigger Fish, some Banner Fish, a Coral Grouper and the famous Nemo! Nemo is actually a Clownfish however it is very protective and will try to attack you if you enter its area. The divers have marked Nemo's lair (it protects the Anemone it feeds on) with a circle of stones and we are advised to stay outside the circle of stones. Anna had texted me asking if I'd seen Nemo the day before and I didn't understand the reference - however today it all made sense!
The second dive is at Mango Bay (photo of Mango bay above) and here we have to practice lots of skills before we get to explore. The variety of fish at this site is breathtaking. I see a puffer fish (not inflated though), a File Fish which is incredibly beautiful and thousands of Fusiliers (yellow and white fish) which I swim through in awe.
