We’d booked 3 morning dives and having been sized up for all the required bits of kit the day before, all we had to do eat breakfast and walk through the breakers to the speedboat. The last time I’d dived in the sea (in Australia), breakfast and diving didn’t work well together but thankfully it was quite calm on the water.
There were 8 people on the boat split up into 2 groups. My buddy was Bhav and we had Raf, the company owner as our guide. The first dive was an underwater mountain listed in the guide book as one of the diving highlights in the country and it certainly didn’t disappoint. There was a profusion of life everywhere requiring you to almost prioritise what you looked at.
After a 1 hour 30 min surface interval spent on a nearby white sandy beach we went for a second dive which was a wall dive. I didn’t enjoy the second dive as much as the first but that could have been partly due to the unfamiliar equipment (gear listed psi instead of bar).
It was also cool to be out diving with Bhav who I’d met exactly a year previously (in Australia).
