Our second day of diving was quite good – got ourselves assigned to a group who were better divers and could manage to make their tanks last more than 20 mins.  The boats for the dive trips are the same that the fisherman use with an additional canopy for sun protection. 

The trips to the dive sites took anywhere from 45 minutes to 1 hour 45 minutes and occasionally we had to wind our way through mangroves to get there.  We had the company of dolphins with us for a few minutes today which was so cool – apparently they love the under water current created by the boat motor.

Our guide for the day was David – super nice guy in the green shirt below – and while we struggled a bit with PSI to BAR conversion, once down, you have your own private aquarium with amazing fish – super huge groupers, wrasses, lion fish, scorpion fish, angel fish, parrot fish, lizard fish – these are sort of freaky because they look like they should be on land, tons of clown fish in anemonies (MY FAVORITE!! I could sit and watch these for hours and on and on).  Basically, think NEMO and all his buddies.

We got back a little later in the afternoon so after washing our gear out, we just sorta chilled – Dar was tired from entertaining everyone on the boat and took a nap.  I went down to the beach because there was a full moon and took these pictures at sunset – MAN was it pretty!
