Back in Roatan
Sorry for the lack of updates. I've been in Roatan
for a week now, took about half that to get my
bags, battled off the dreaded "roatan gut" for a
few days and then got down to business. I'm doing
my divemaster training with
Reef Gliders and have
started to wade through the thousands of pages
of reading and tests, but still have managed
to sneak in a few dives. I always like to
shoot at El Aguila, it has lots of cool lines
and as I learn how to shoot underwater better,
it's a good baseline to judge myself against.
Yesterday on the first dive, I was shooting a photo of a turtle passing me by when I heard Barry banging away like mad on his tank trying to get my attention. Barry isn't really one to bang his tank a lot, so I figured something exciting was going on. As it turns out a big green Moray Eel had snuck up behind me and was biting my fin! Never had that happen before! When I got back to the shop and looked at my photos I saw him sneaking up on me in the background of this shot.
Sneaky Green Moray Eel and turtle.
Just blowing bubbles.
A diver on the wreck.
Goldentail Moray's are my favourite eel around here
And finally a flamingo tongue.
It's a little tough to keep up with the blog here, the power still goes out pretty much once a day, the internet is painfully slow and I am kept really busy with the DM course, but I'll try to get something up at least once a week, hopefully more. I'm going to try to get photos up here as often as I can too, so check it out if you like.
Cheers,
d.
