Well this weekend I had four students that had finished their Open Water course so we all went out for some fun dives. We went on two wall dives and one plane wreck. The wall dives is like diving the side of a building that starts just under the surface and generally continues for about two or three hundred feet below towards the bottom. The dives were at some of our best reefs here, Yellow Corner and Secret Spot. We dove a Hell Cat fighter plane that crashed into shallow lagoon when it ran out of gas in WWII. We saw lots of sharks at Yellow Corner, and at one point had 4 or 5 circling us. Don't be worried they were all small reef sharks, the largest one being about a meter and a half long.
Since I did not have any students I was able to bring my camera along and get some pictures. I got a few of the sharks, but they are rather hard to get good pictures of. I also got some photos of Nudibranchs, a lion fish, a crocodile fish, and of the plane. During our surface interval a storm kicked up as we were cooking some fish over a fire. I felt a little cold for once, it was almost pleasant. It passed in about an hour, and we got on with our lunch and the rest of the day of diving. It was a fun relaxing weekend, and am glad I got to take some photos.
