Dive Journal: From Windmills, Debbie quickly unties and heads over to Tunnels, hoping to tie up and claim the spot while we are doing our surface interval. She succeeds in doing this. While we’re offgassing and starting our preparations, another couple of boats approach, stop short, and toss anchor onto the reef so they can dive at the same time. Debbie is understandably annoyed with this disregard for the reef and that too much diver traffic at one site is always less enjoyable for all.

Johnny and I will be buddies again, and so we plan to dive at shallower depths while the other divers go through the tunnel. This works out well since Linda did not dive here last time (Dive #090). Linda will be videographer this dive as well.

John was very fun to dive with – he is now quite comfortable clearing his ears and controlling his depth. We slowly followed the other divers down the slope, then stayed about even at 50’ while they descended through the tunnel. We had fun chasing their bubbles, and eventually we both started doing space flips mid-water over the wall.

Linda takes some good video of some black jacks here. She later ascended to continue swimming with us, and we traded around using the camera. Johnny got some nice shots of a black durgeon, and also some great shots of other divers. I caught a few frames of a blue-hued trumpetfish, and also a pair of cute goatfish who posed on a ledge.

Goodbye Salt Cay and Turks & Caicos Islands! Diving here has been relaxing, beautiful, relaxing, interesting, and relaxing. The quiet scene topside on Salt Cay is just what we had hoped for.
