Gear onto the boat

Left Simone's flat today, it was really great of her and Remond to put me up for a couple of weeks. Still haven't been for a single dive with her yet - ah well, maybe later this year or next year!

Moved my gear onto Andy's yacht, Modi, this afternoon and had a look round and familiarised myself with the systems and layout.

Had problems at immigration so we'll have to clear out tomorrow morning and then depart Barbados around 1600 hours.

Diving

Back diving again today after the three day break and we dived over on Castle Bank and then 'Pieces of Eight'.

Saw plenty of turtles, a couple of rays, a few pufferfish and, at the end of the second dive, the largest lobster I have seen...mmm!

Bell Buoy dive

After the Stav, we moved south and dived the Bell Buoy. A bit of entertainment during the surface interval...

and always a favourite (me and snake-like things :-)

Asta Reef

There are some cement blocks near the wreck on Asta Reef and I managed to get this shot of a Puffer fish keeping an eye on me - got to be my favourite photo to date:

Here's looking at ya!

Diving in Barbados

Had a few good dives this week with Roger's Scuba Shack.

We have done Asta Reef, Castle Bay, Pieces of Eight and the Boot.

Just bore you with some of my photos:

Diving in Barbados

Dived with Rogers Scuba Shack in December 2004.

The diving was excellent: the SS Stavronikita (378 foot wreck) is rated as one of the top 10 wreck dives in the world and the reef diving was just something else.

Myself and Gary (Thompson, one of the Divemasters) on a three-quarter mile drift dive over The Boot and seeing an Eagle Ray just glide over us was fantastic.

The best diving holiday I have had so far and one place I will definitely be returning to: thanks to Gary, Simone, Mark, Bryan, Roger and all at the shack.
