second day 20 March 2007

We got up at 6.30 after a rather hot night the aircon was not working
well. We had to do our first dive this would be our check dive at the
same time. After the briefing we all went in and check our weights
etc. And we had a beautiful slow drift dive, There was a slight in
coming current and we had a lot of marine live.

On our fist dive we had a turtle and sharks that was a real thrill.

The second dive of the day we dived on an other channel , Maabadu
Kandu and this time the current was outgoing so the visibility was
not so good. and we had a beginner with us for her first dive so we
stayed shallow and let us drift out to the corner. When we reached
the corner the vis cleared up and there was a beautiful coral carpet
there was a large variety corals and colors. And what do you know
out of the deep from the blue a huge Manta came to us I made lots of
pictures and even a small video, to prove it to everybody.

For the afternoon dive we sailed about 2hrs down south and the main
boat anchored there on a spot near the channel to leave in the
morning. The third dive was not so eventful only that the dive ladder
broke when one heavy guy climbed on board. The crew will try to fix
this tomorrow when we are near an island that has a work shop.

We had a great dinner and went to bed early we are all tired.
