Friday and Saturday Practice

 

Friday I practiced on the deck of our room very early before a two tank dive with the Thresher Sharks. They did not disappoint! Although the visibility could have been better we saw lots of sharks;^)

I did take the 'big rig' out with me but haven't had the time to check to see if'n I got a usable image or not.

Saturday was a very, very long bus ride to Moal Boal on the western coast of Cebu. The bus ride was 8 hours.

 I did a very early morning practice in the room.

 At 9 am we loaded onto a boat for Maya on the northern most tip of Cebu, checking to see if ALL our gear got on the bus.

After a grueling bus ride to Moal Boal, we had to register, do all our dive certification crap, listen to briefings from the restaurant staff, the dive staff and Tony the group leader...Finally we got to eat dinner around 8 pm.

The bus ride was an adventure in and of itself!

The bus ride had some spectacular views.

More bus ride photos.

Then back to the room to unpack cloths, get our dive gear stowed and tend to the u/w photography equipment. Oy vey!
