Well, after having a very long day of travelling, and little food (finally at a diner), and a good time at the orientation gathering, its off to start diving!<\/p>\n
I started a little early, to make sure I had some equipment. I checked into the dive shop, acquired a locker, and most of my equipment. The only things that I can use that I brought, was what I carried on the plane (my Regs, Lights and Camera).<\/p>\n
Kevin from the dive shop was very accommodating in getting me equipment, and off I went to breakfast.<\/p>\n
After breakfast, the last part of the nitrox course was completed (analyzing) and we were off to the boats. I had a bit of confusion, as I was under the Andrea boat list, but that boat turned out to be the Albacore, a much larger dive boat with a fly bridge.<\/p>\n
After a quick ‘check out’ splash off of the back of the boat, to make sure you sink with the weight you have, remove\/replace your regulator and clear your mask, it’s off to the dive sites.<\/p>\n
The dive sites are very close to AKR, most a mere 5 minutes away and some a bit further at 10 minutes away, so once your out of their harbour, your almost ready to splash in.<\/p>\n
For the first dive, I didn’t bring the camera down, as I’m in mostly all rental gear and wanted to make sure I had at least a dive to get it all sorted out (where things are on the BC, make sure weighting is alright, etc)<\/p>\n
It was a wall dive, with an insane amount of Bottle Nose Puffers EVERYWHERE. And by everywhere, I mean, that the vis was being affected by them physically. You couldn’t look a few inches from the last one to the next one everywhere on the reef.<\/p>\n
The second was a similar wall dive, and I took the camera down and shot a few short videos.<\/p>\n
The third dive after lunch, I tried to take some pictures. This area had quite a few canyons that we swam through with quite a fair amount of crabs and shrimp.<\/p>\n
Sadly my baggage didn’t show up, but heard it went do San Pedro (on the mainland) instead. Closer I guess\u00e2\u20ac\u00a6..<\/p>\n
Happy hour at the pool, dinner following and editing of the days photos, it’s time to get some sleep.
