Diving the South Coast of Aruba

Getting up the first morning was pure torture since we hadn't got to bed until well after 2am Friday night.   Krissy, Howard, Kenny, Dad, and I were barely awake as we boarded the van for a ride to Red Sail Sports at the Hyatt.  We obtained our equipment and boarded the boat and set off for the south coast.  The first dive sight, "Fingers"   was a favorite from past trips.  It didn't seem to be as great as we had remembered though.  We saw lots of beautiful fish, a huge moray eel, huge brain corals, and some beautiful coral formations.  

The second dive was a sight called Katilla, a popular destination for the submarine Atlantis because the reef is dotted with lots of colorful fish.  The highlight of the dive was seeing the large barracuda in the deep blue.  

I spent the afternoon napping trying to recover from the long travel day and poor nights rest.  The rest of the group spent much of the day at the pool floating down the lazy river.  We split into two groups for dinner.  The Kents and Tuckers went to one of our favorite's.....Sole Mar.  Krissy and I love their specialty which is spaghetti and lots of parmesan cheese.   They take a bowl made of cheese and they light it on fire melting the cheese.  Then the spaghetti is dropped into the bowl.....and mixed into the cheese.  Its lovely!
