Days off in the middle of a charter!
Well most crews would be outrageously jealous after we got to go take a day off right in the middle of a charter! It was like Christmas! We packed our bags, got some tanks and off we boldly went! Although not before making Bob his breakfast request of a slippery nipple!
We took the "Bingo Bus" over to Tobago, we have never been there before, so always exciting! We found a good looking dive spot and off we went! It was fabulous, lots of big stuff, barracuda, horse eye jacks and mackrel,I also managed to get below 100 feet! We should have had a fishing rod with us we might have finally caught something for the boat! We both took lots of pictures, heres my barracuda
this is a Richie Horse eye Jack (yes we are having photo wars now he has his new fancy camera!)
Rich also found this cute blenny
As we came up from the dive, there was indeed Promenade circling our little boat, trying to see what we were up too! We had a sun bathe to warm back up, had a quick read (about Belize! I think this will be our next holiday destination!) and off we went, not before getting the frozen coffees from a very kind Kerry!
We debated where to head for lunch and settled on Cane Garden, it meant a small swim ashore, but I braved the cold waters for lunch! I also managed to do a bit of shopping to! It was then off for the second dive, we decided on Brewers bay as it was just around the corner, there was a boat on our usual spot, but on the far side of the bay was a buoy, so we headed for that and had another new dive, this was great too, lots of big boulders and anchors?? Lots of angel fish on this site too
Heres Richie squeezing through a crack in the rocks
and a cute little grouper
So those were my pictures, Rich also got an angel fish
He also found the smallest bleny I have ever seen, it was as small as a hair off of your head! I don't know how he even saw it.
Our final stop for the day was Soapers Hole, bit more shopping, but nothing really took my eye, we caught up with Promenade there, the girls also wanted to shop, so we grabbed a couple more tanks and headed to Thatch for a final last dive, 3 in one day!
The last picture from there, the tiniest butterfly fish I have ever seen, it was the size of your pinky finger nail!
