The skies are a bit grey today and the wind is making some swells outside the atoll. Breeze takes us on a course north and west across the atoll to a mini-wall that is protected from the weather. It is a simple out-and-back tour of the mini-wall, one with a flat bottom at 75'. A great introduction back to Belizean waters. There are fabulous coral formations accented by unbelievable vase, tube, and barrel sponges everywhere. A smallish sea turtle, maybe three feet long, swam directly beneath us - way cool. In one crevice we spied the huge head of a green moray eel. Over the reef we enjoyed large schools of blue chromis and Spanish hogfish. On this first dive of the dive trip, we spotted and identified all four angelfish: rock beauty, grey (my friend), french, and queen. Breeze is really good as a divemaster - he seemingly loves the reef and guides us slowly. At the dive end, Linda is cold, despite the pretty warm water temperatures. We enjoy diving with Andreas, a German tourist also on the island. Also on board are nitwit Gary (self-proclaimed divemaster) and Elena (his Russian wife), who dove separately from the group. From their conversations, we gather that this is Elena's first dive ever. | |||||||||
