On Saturday night Sam was able to snag a room at a hotel for “friends and family” rate through a coworker’s connection. When we got up we went and had a massive American diner style breakfast before heading to the beach to meet with some of the same friends of the day before.
Over the course of the day we became acquainted with the reefs south of the main beach, where lots of interesting creatures live. The visibility is better in the earlier part of the day, before the rougher waves start churning up the sand. By 3:30 it’s almost impossible to see anything other than some rays burying themselves in the sand.
Sam and our friend came out once, but I went in three separate times, spending maybe a total of four hours in the water.
I saw probably hundreds of leopard sharks, another kind of shark, a lobster, all sizes of sting rays, and even a bat ray.
