Today was another good day of diving.

The first day got off to a slow start due to a pretty good bunch of inexperienced divers. It just kinda goes with the territory sometimes. It doesn’t make it any less annoying, just easier to get over later. We’re all on vacation and we all have a limited number of dives we can do. The last thing we want to do is waste time sitting in a sandy patch waiting for people to sort their shit out while air is needlessly wasted. One thing I didn’t expect was to have someone literally use me to balance themselves while I was kneeling down prepping gear. She was doing the same. She didn’t even say excuse me or acknowledge the fact that she had just did it. It was more than a little rude and mildly pissed me off. I just made it a point to avoid them and not ruin anyone’s good time.

That said and out of the way, the two sites we hit were nice. We hit up another wall for the first dive and the second dive was a really nice shallow coral garden. I got a few good shots from today, which is nice to see. I’m starting to wrap my head around the fisheye and wish I had a lot more time to play with it here, but we’re only diving 2 more days. Luckily, we squeeze another 6 dives out of those two days.

When we got back, we had a go at jet skiing. I liked it. Corinne, not so much. It didn’t help that at one point she fell off (I was driving, so one concerned with “placing blame” could lay it at my feet) and as a result I fell off as well. Whoops. I got a mouth full of seawater, but thought the whole thing was hilarious. Again – Corinne not so much. I’m honestly just happy that she agreed to give it a try.

I think I’m going to finish resetting up my underwater photo gear and go find Corinne, who’s outside enjoying the sun. I’m not a tanner myself. I darken up plenty just being on a boat. Thank you mostly-Mediteranean heritage.
