DAY FIVE
"Underwater Live"

Up early
down to the harbour
onto the boat

Nice boat
Good gear

Hang on...
everything is in German
everyone is German

Oh, well
Our divemaster Tomas
had a pretty good command
and they were pretty small groups

Off for the first dive

Just off an island reef

There were lots of fish
not nearly as colourful
or prolific as Australia or Thailand

And the coral left allot to be desired
but it was good to be underwater again
That weird feeling of breathing underwater
along with being weightless
A thrill

There were lots of little things to see:
Star fish, sea catapillars, sea slugs
a few colourful ones

There were some nice spiral corrals too
that would shoot back into their tube
when you went by, that is pretty cool.

After an hour in the water
always not enough
we headed up

Back on land we had time for a big lunch
and a good solid nap before...

Dive Two

The Mavi wreck
Its was a really nice old wooden wreck
until some bugger pulled an anchor through it
and it was a complete wreck

There were allot of shit in it though
and a perfect porcelain toilet
Nice

The local companies got together
and decided to wreck another boat
to give them something to look at

This they did the week before
we had a look
not many fish
eerie though
to see a gutted boat down there

In the end

We decided not to have another
expensive days diving
but to hang around Kas
as there were other interesting things to see...

I still have never been diving, it is on my list of sweet things I want to do.

Man, head up to the north west coast! Even snorkelling around Coral Bay is better than most places on earth (well the places I have seen anyway).
