Yesterday we got up around seven and road to a restraint for breakfast. I had an egg sandwich with bacon and orange juice. We then got on our boat and had about a 15 minute boat ride to the dive site. Paul’s grotto was the dive site we first went to. We all got slates and tried to identify lots of fish. On this dive we got 24 different species one of which that I liked a lot was the four eyed butterfly fish. We then went to our next dive site, mountain point. During or surface interval we went snorkeling and spotted a shark but shortly after I dropped my fin which the dive master quickly recovered. We then descended and swam with three different sharks one of which was tagged and then went to lunch at the same place we had breakfast. Afterwards we went through the baths and saw the chapel. We kept on walking and saw Neptune’s cave. The tour guide explained to us that the smoothness of the cave was do to erosion from waves. She told us that the rock that was all around us had pocket of hollowness which would erode easily and eventually become smooth. We then began our snorkel which helped us site stingrays, fairy baselets, fire coral, sea urchin. We swam through a tunnel and came up on the other side of the rocks. Afterward we went to a buffet dinner and had an amazing time and talked about different events of the day. We then got back to the cabins and went to bed.
Today we woke up around 7:15 and went to the same breakfast place as today. I got a cheese omelet and some water and I was fueled and ready for the day. We got on our boat and got under way to the dive for the day which was the wreck of the rhone which sank in 1860. Once we got there we where told some ghost stories about those who perished at the dive and then we descended. We saw many of the same fish and also several different eels. We swam through the boat for a little bit and saw some shrimp. Afterwards we went to the lucky porthole that belonged to the only passenger survivor of the ship and made three wishes after rubbing it. We soon ascended and started on our surface interval during which we where described to the history of the ship. After we descended again we went to the other side of the ship and explored it, finding many squirrel fish as well as several schools of school masters. After we got back on the boat we went to cooper island and had fish and chips for lunch. We then snorkeled on the islands coast and saw several stingrays and a couple shrimps as well as several tarpon. We had dinner on the beach and then went for a night snorkel and saw slipper lobsters, spiny lobsters, cuttlefish, octopus and 5 sting rays.
