Day 4 / Day 5

You get into a routine and it becomes very difficult to break. Every morning is a slice of papaya, two fried eggs, toast, and two cups of coffee. Yesterday we went out in the morning to a dive site called "Shark Bank" aka the home of jaws. Haha. It was a 30m dive and it was absolutely INCREDIBLE. Getting down was hard, mostly because of the swift currents, and we had to do hand -over-hand down the anchor line then it was absolutely breathtakingly beautiful. Within our first few minutes we saw a big shark and it was so graceful. For someone who has been terrified of sharks to the point where even lakes are a danger, I was unbelievably calm -- I literally wasn't scared at all and instead, was completely absorbed in watching it.

After, we saw a school of Eagle rays swimming above us. There was something very mythical about the whole experience, as if they were some sort of strange prehistoric creature, rather than something just from the sea. Then there was a huge school of baracuda.... All-in-all I was simply in awe of how beautiful the dive site was. We then saw a second shark (again I was simply in awe).

got to run... be back later to finish (?)

I had drinks in Shucker's with someone I'd worked with off and on for a couple of years. Turns out he's a diver and had twelve dives on the Andrea Doria, the Mt Everest of wreck dives (very dangerous, a lot of people have died). He had some interesting stories. Last dive on it was about 8 or 10 years ago. -Dad
