Alarm clock woke us up .... again! Today is diving day. We are off on a dive boat to Pescador Island. It is a little, uninhibited island in the middle of the ocean!
We got our equipment ready, jumped on the boat and off we went.Christine was the first in the water. All keen and raring to go! Unfortunately she had problems clearing her ears, which is common in diving and had to snorkel this time instead. Darryl continued with the rest of the group and saw some wonderful things. Big emperor angel fish, scorpion fish and gigantic hard corals.
We both snorkelled the other side of the island together whilst the divers were off for their second dive. We could see their bubbles rising from the depths but not them, as they were to deep.
Back on dry land, we were serenaded by the local children with beautifully sung Christmas carols. They know quite a lot of the words to We Wish You A Merry Christmas and Jingle Bells! Darryl joined in for the chorus. Christine thought she'd frighten the little children too much, so refrained from joining in and gave them each a coin!
