Our second dive on Tuesday was called “two tall two small”.  I’m not sure exactly what that even referred to.  I suppose it’s just another beautiful reef spot and they needed to name it something.  As soon as we dropped down to the bottom we saw a giant green moray eel swimming by.  Always neat! They’re terrifyingly graceful. After that dive we spent the appropriate amount of time back up on the boat and then motored over to Coco View wall and prepared to get back into the water.  As soon as Jason jumped off the boat his weight belt fell off and plummeted into a couple hundred feet of water.  No way to retrieve that! So we got back onto the boat and the crew found him a spare belt and luckily had enough extra weight laying around to make him a few one.  While they were fixing Jason up, another lady jumped in and lost one of her fins while another man broke the strap on his fin.  Overall it was complete chaos of broken diving equipment for a few minutes.  Eventually all of us high maintenance divers made it off the boat and successfully into the water! The coolest thing we saw this dive was literally the biggest moray eel anyone in the group had ever seen. It was apparently gigantic.  Now I’ve seen like three moray eels at this point and they were all terrifying.  This one wasn’t too bad because he was just hanging out in his little rock and not bothering anyone or swimming around like a giant ocean dragon with scraggle teeth.  😉 Unfortunately for me I thought that I had turned my camera off while we were hanging out on the boat for an hour, but I didn’t.  Unlike my old Canon where the battery would last a month or so, the Sony only makes it a few hours and then it’s dead.  So I got into the water with only 25% battery life left.  It was a trooper and ran on proverbial fumes for a lot longer than I would have expected, but it eventually died. We must have stayed out a little longer because by the time we got back to the resort and dropped off our dive gear there was a gorgeous sunset over the water.  Dinner included fried shrimp and a chocolate pie.  I’m a happy camper!

Here are some photos of sunset over the cabana!
