Shore diving once again

No boat dives today. We went for 2 shore dives. The first was at the Cliff right outside the Hamlet Villas.  This is one of Dive Friends’ locations and was perfect for us. We safely parked there and were able to rinse off and dry off afterwards for our surface interval.  Our second dive was supposed to be at salt pier but the salt boat was parked there so it was a no go L Instead, we went to Something Special and we were not disappointed.  On both dives we saw squid and eels!  On the first dive we also saw a little turtle.  There was a cliff as the name suggests.  The sun came out towards the end of the dive and the colors became really beautiful. The second dive was really something special.  It’s rare for me to be impressed by fish on dives but I was really impressed by the number and types of fish we found. There were so many fish schooling. It was really beautiful. I was so distracted by them I forgot to look for other things. However, we did come across more eels than we could count and a number of drumfish.  Both dives were great but Something Special really lives up to its name (and my 4 previous dives there).
