...was SO cool! I loved it! You can see much less...obviously. because its dark. But it was awesome to be deep in the water in the pitch black. We had torches to hunt stuff out, we saw shrimps, retractable worm, big crabs. It was fun! Although I stayed very close to my instructor the whole time! Getting out of the dive was not so fun - it was raining, again. and FREEZING!
Did another day of diving the next day - saw loads of sharks and eagle rays. visibility is about 20m which was pretty good, some of the coral on a few of the dives has been trashed by tsunami, but still loads to see. Its really nice not to have to wear a wet suit on the dives because the water is so warm. The dive guys are really cool.
On one of the other days we dived a WWII wreck which was amazing. Its a huge ship called the Tao maru, Japanese ship. There were loads of cool artefacts including a medical box with an oxygen mask, vials of drugs, packets of tablets in bottles in. There was also a big army tank on board and a motorbike and a phone. It was weird to swim in and out of!
Have finished all the diving im going to be doing in Gizo, which is a good job because i've managed to get an ear infection as a result of doing so much of it! Going to the hosp to get antibiotics was an interesting procedure - ive got drugs that are normally used for eye infections in the uk! But here, said drug is used for pretty much everything!
