A small anemone shrimp on an anemone.
School of jacks swimming above
I naturally woke up early (7am) and eventually had breakfast on the beach at Hayahay (owned by Genesis). I had two reasons to go there; try to get onto their free internet and have a nice breakfast on the beach. The internet failed to connect because something was wrong with their router (found out later, it works now) and the food was decent.
My one and only dive for the day was at “Santuary” which was actually quite nice. I went along with Susan and Daniel, a Swiss couple; I thought they were German. Our Divemaster was Luer. I saw a lot of little shrimp, a frogfish, and nudibranchs which were fine. A few batfish followed us around trying to get food out of us (people feed them). The highlight of the dive was a small school of jacks that swam in a ball above me then swam around me. Very cool.
For dinner I ate at Trudi’s Place which my friend Cecilia and I ate at when I visited in 2007. I had the seafood curry with rice. It was good and not too expensive. After dinner I walked over to Oops! bar to hang out. Met Nigel who was going to dive with me the next day. He’s from England and a very inspirational person because like me, he dropped a lot of what he was doing (25 years at his last job) and decided to travel around and dive.

Those pictures are amazing, Jay! If you freelance for the National Geographic or Lonely Planet maybe one day they'll pay for all your future diving trips...:)
Thanks! That's very encouraging. That's something I would love doing. Maybe that'll be my next adventure. You know anyone at the Geo? ;)
Haha. I wish. I'll write and you shoot the photos, then we can both get free trips. :)
