Seeing as we were flying out on Thursday morning, this Tuesday would be my last day to go for a dive. I was torn between just spending the day at the beach with my friends again or going for a dive, but figured I would do the dive and then just meet back up with everyone as I had been doing. Even though we went to the same two dive sites, these were really great dives – the second one especially as we returned to the shark cleaning station. I really felt in control of my breathing and my buoyancy during this dive, which was a rewarding feeling. I am starting to notice all this time I am putting in.
Think these are called banded pipefish. Really shy fish, but very cute.
One of my favorites that I've taken.
This one too.
This kind of reminds me of the Scream painting. Does anyone else see it?
And here are the shots from the second dive, back with the sharks (first the other things I saw).

I like this one a lot too.
School of Trevallies.
Trevallies ... if you look closely you can see why they appear skittish.
Shark time!
When I regrouped with everyone back at Coral Bay we went on a bit of a walk to a more secluded area of the beach and played around as the sun set.
After the sunset we went out for delicious pizza at one of the cafes.
