Another day…

// January 29th, 2005 // Honduras

Well i just got back from two morning dives… the first dive was a deep one… down to 100 feet… we explored a wrecked ship… it was called the Halliburton… nice huh? can’t get away from that shit even down under water. it was sunk intentionally for diving… about 5 years ago… it’s nice it already has corral growing on it… there were a lot of other people down unfortunatley.

the second dive was a multi depth dive… so basically it was just for fun… i was allowed to take a camera along… very nice… though it kind of takes away from the overall experience… i snapped off about 100 photos or so in under an hour (i went through my tank pretty quick this time… trying to swim everywhere for photos! i hope to be able to post them online sometime this week… we saw and swam with a hawksbill turtle… about the size of my torso give or take…

we also saw a huge moray (sp) eel out of the reef… it was probably about 10 feet long and about 1 foot round…. huge and green… the above picture isn´t mine by the way…

Tonight we go on a night dive… as long as the weather holds off … which it should. there’s supposed to be a bunch of bioluminescense (sp? again) so when we turn our flashlights off and wave our arms, the water should light up… i’m sceptical! there is also usually octopi spotted on night dives… thats the one thing i’m hopping for most!

i think we’ll be leaving the island on tuesday… heading to Copan to see some mayan ruins… then to guatamala… we’ll see. we have four fun dives we have to take before we leave…

well i’m out of here
