While they are flying, I&#8217;m DIVING!<\/p>\n<p>I would have left today, but with how flights were, I&#8217;d spend a night in Houston, probably for more money (hotel, food, etc) than staying here another day and DIVING!<\/p>\n<p>Tough life I have.<\/p>\n<p>So today the rest of us that were left (a good half dozen of us) headed off for some more time under water.<\/p>\n<p>The first dive was to a site called Front Porch.<\/p>\n<p>My gear was on the boat, and I was just starting to get it setup as we departed. I didn&#8217;t anticipate it would take less time than to strap my BP to the tank! It took me a few quickly rushed minutes to finally jump into the water (It would have been nice to have a quick warning about how quick the trip would be! :P)<\/p>\n<p>It was a nice drift, lasting just under an hour.<\/p>\n<p>The second dive was another drift for over an hour. It was nice diving with a very experienced group. It made me look like a total newbie though, but I didn&#8217;t mind. I though I finally didn&#8217;t move much on a drift dive. These guys don&#8217;t move at all!<\/p>\n<p>With this being my last dive, I spent about a hour rising out my gear thoroughly, as most nights, it&#8217;s just been a quick dunk and swish in the rinse tank (4 dives a day with the longest SI being about 12-14 hours)<\/p>\n<p>I brought my gear back to the hut to dry out on the porch and headed into lunch.<\/p>\n<p>The night before, we were told where not only the next years invasion was to be (and when), but 2016 as well. I really wish it wasn&#8217;t in the end of June.<\/p>\n<p>2 weeks in the Philippines, with mid week transportation, 5 dives a day, completely all inclusive and for a price that screams &#8216;Just take my money!&#8217;<\/p>\n<p>I really wish it wasn&#8217;t at the end of June \u00e2\u20ac\u00a6\u00e2\u20ac\u00a6 Maybe I could find another profession?<\/p>\n<p>I decided to hit up happy hour at the pool bar. I decided on an old favourite, a White Russian. Very tasty.<\/p>\n<p>Heading into dinner, I grabbed a few beers as well at the happy hour and had a great dinner, checking out the new group that just arrived at the resort (a group of 26, compared to our 60+)<\/p>\n<p>That night, I did some preliminary packing, and headed to bed.<br \/>\n<em>AKR Roatan, Front Porch<\/em><br \/>\n<em>Date: May 3, 2014<\/em><br \/>\n<em>Bottom Time: 49 minutes<\/em><br \/>\n<em>Max Depth: 26m<\/em><br \/>\n<em>Water Temp: 28.9C<\/em><br \/>\n<em>Running Time: 69.06<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>AKR Roatan, ??<\/em><br \/>\n<em>Date: May 3, 2014<\/em><br \/>\n<em>Bottom Time: 63 minutes<\/em><br \/>\n<em>Max Depth: 23m<\/em><br \/>\n<em>Water Temp: 29.4C<\/em><br \/>\n<em>Running Time: 70:09<\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I had breakfast with a few members leaving that day, said goodbye and headed to my boat with a grin[&#8230;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":[],"categories":[4,9],"tags":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"http:\/\/www.bradharris.ca\/UnderwaterAdventures\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/90"}],"collection":[{"href":"http:\/\/www.bradharris.ca\/UnderwaterAdventures\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"http:\/\/www.bradharris.ca\/UnderwaterAdventures\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/www.bradharris.ca\/UnderwaterAdventures\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/www.bradharris.ca\/UnderwaterAdventures\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=90"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"http:\/\/www.bradharris.ca\/UnderwaterAdventures\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/90\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":91,"href":"http:\/\/www.bradharris.ca\/UnderwaterAdventures\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/90\/revisions\/91"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"http:\/\/www.bradharris.ca\/UnderwaterAdventures\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=90"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/www.bradharris.ca\/UnderwaterAdventures\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=90"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/www.bradharris.ca\/UnderwaterAdventures\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=90"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
