Day 11: diving in the Outer Reef with Silverswift.

Day 10: diving in the Outer Reef with Silverswift.

Today it has been a new diving day, This time as I mentioned earlier I was going to go to the outer reef, this time with a different company. The outer reef is a totally different thing, sand is deeper, and you can dive deeper, ergo less time in the sea, and things are bit less concentrated, however, the fish stay still, and in some places it was like watching the Disney film.

I had 3 dives today, first 2 visibility was excellent the third one is was worse, but still quite goo. As I mentioned earlier fishes stay still like waiting to be photographed, but this time I didn't rent the camera (which was a good idea, because my dives would have been very short since I would have consumed too much air. We saw various turtles, we were able to touch one of them, few rays, nameless numbers of fishes, of all types (including the mighty famous Nemo), as well as all corals.

This time my diving skills improved, specially from on the 2nd and third, and although I have been on deeper water, my ears are better than yesterday, that I was constantly going up and down.


As I mentioned yesterday I can now compare the 2 companies. Certainly the are different. SeaStar is small boat, closer crew, and very friendly, it is a very good place to do snorkeling, and for inexperienced divers, since you do lower water, and you have a very good ratio of instructor to students. Silverswift is bigger, 100 person, the number of divers, were about 25-30, and you had like 1 instructor every 8 people which is the normal ratio. But Silverswift are very professional, it is more divers world, although both of them includes a diving computer in as part of the kit, the one of Silverswift is fantastic, and they make sure the same one is use during the 3 dives.


Changing topics, now some non-diving stuff. I am changing today to the other hostel, The Tropics days, 10 min further, but belonging to the same people. That is the one I had the BBQ in. I have not booked in yet. but I am on my way. This morning before leaving Travelers Oasis I book for tomorrow a trip to Allerthons tableland, that is a bit more of rain forest, but this time with Waterfalls, swimming in them etc. As Javier woudl know I never say no to having a swim in lakes, and rivers, so this is a new opportunity to do so.

Enough for today
