SCUBA on Angelfish Reef and the Indians
It is a beautiful day here in the BVI. Not a drop of rain anywhere. Found this picture of a rainbow from yesterday when we left the marina.....
Todays activities were mostly diving related. Some were still certifying, and I took lots of Sudafed and went diving with the certified divers this morning. We did a "live dive" dropping in on the outside of Angelfish Reef...
So we only had to go one way with the current. Lazy hey? We saw a grouper...
and two little lobster....
I love the barrel sponges around here, they are all so massive...
A little file fish...
Neil called me over to see the little Eel they found and it was small! I had a wide angle lens on, so he is just a speck in the middle of the picture I believe....
Coming over one of the canyons...
A little turtle which was disappearing just as fast as he could when he saw us....
Lots of little fish...
Then, we played "stupid human tricks" as opposed to "stupid pet tricks" (or maybe it is the same thing?)
Matt just hung out and watched us....
Jay did a fin stand...
Steve did a handstand (I love the colors here)
And a ninja pose...
...and crosslegged.
We found a conch to look at, surprisingly nothing in it and no hole to show that someone had taken the conch out.
We spied our certifying divers and Simeon swimming by, and we all watched the Barracuda for awhile....
After all this activity we picked up the few girls we had left at the beach while we were diving, had lunch, pulled the banana boat around for awhile (well, some napped!)
And then it was off to the Indians for a dive. I think my divers took exception to me calling them slow yesterday and they were geared up and in the water in no time! Water is a bit murky for this time of year....
And I kept my eyes peeled for a Lionfish, but I saw none! One Horse eyed jack in the school of Wrasses.....
Some nice glassy eyed sweepers in the cave....
and then it was off for an exciting sail up to Salt Island for the night dive. Yep, three dives tonight!
I think I should make them sleep as we have decided on a 7:30 AM dive in the morning as well on the Rhone, before the hoards descend. They had a great dive tonight and saw large crabs and lobsters, dinner was served...
And now they seem very lively playing Scattegories for those who have done three dives!
