Dive....Dive...Monkeys....DIVE

The first dive today was to a site called The Old Road.  It proved to be another beautiful spot.  We dropped down rather quickly to 125 feet and saw a large sting ray in the sand.  Don't tell PADI but even Zac made it down there to see it.    Unfortunately, that ate up a good deal of air and dive time.  We saw much of the same things:  lobster, barracuda, colorful fish, jellyfish, and just just incredible coral formations.   The second dive included venturing near a volcanic vent.  It is amazing how the water viscosity changes along with the temperature.  I think my favorite day was watching the jellyfish swim in the water.  When I get home I will post a video of it.  Its absolutely a beautiful sight.   Austin a lobster and we all enjoyed posing with it.  Unfortunately he threw it back into the ocean.

After a long morning of diving, we made out last trip to the grocery store for a few items to finish out the last few days.  Food is extremely expensive here so we avoid eating out.  We have enjoyed almost all meals (breakfast, lunch, dinner) in our villa.  Breakfast this morning included pancakes, eggs, bacon, hashbrowns, and orange juice.  Dinner last night was fettucini alfredo with chicken and a green salad.  Following the trip to the grocery store, we headed to Turtle Bay in hopes of seeing some monkey's in the trees along the road and the famous pig "Wilbur."   We definitely got to see the huge pig but didn't spot any monkey's along the road.   Luckily, a woman that has a six month old monkey as a pet was there at Turtle Bay.  Elle refused to cooperate for any pictures let alone get anywhere near it. 

Then tonight we ventured underwater by the light of a full moon.  Well......we all carried flashlights also.  This particular night dive was rather disappointing.  Austin opted to take us to a spot that he has never done at night.  Compared to what we saw on our first trip here, we hardly saw anything.  No turtles, only a few lobster, and not as much life as we usually see.  But I try to remind myself, every dive can't be the BEST.
