BlueWe were the only divers on the boat with addition of divemaster and captain and deck hand. It was glorious because it felt like our private boat and private trip. We did 3 dives on the rainbow reef - Mid way, Barracuda point, and Cabbage patch. The current was super strong so a number of the sites weren't safe. As always we saw an amazing number of fish. We saw the funny hammerhead nudibranch again but this time 2 of them and I learned that they are called blue velvet headshield slug (from the dive shop sea creatures book, not there divemaster who keeps calling it hammerhead nudibranch). On the third dive we saw a shark and a lobster.
For lunch, instead of going to the same island that we have been having lunch at, they brought us to a special island that the locals call picnic island. It's got beautiful sandy areas around black volcanic rock. Apparently the locals flock here on holidays and weekends to enjoy the beaches there. It was really charming.
I loved sitting on the top deck of the boat as if it was our private charter. There captain said he saw whales but I didn't see any. And no dolphins either but that's probably why the weather was so pleasant. They say dolphins and whales come when the weather changes.
