Dark and stormy in hand, my favorite people at my side, awesome salmon meal....OMG I love my life. Pretty sure we solved all the problems of the world that night.

Up,bright and early.....off the hook we go .....bubbly pool first stop. The newbies were hyper and the pool was bubbly and did not disappoint....wait I think I recognize that guy on the path coming our way....well hello again Warren ..so neat how we run into the same folks over and over again. It was a pleasure to meet you and your Mrs.

sounds like you got lots of dives in...night ones too.
I really feel like I'm missing out on a whole other world.....

Learning to dive -officially on my bucket list to accomplish before 60 <img src="http://www.traveltalkonline.com/forums/images/graemlins/Grin.gif" alt="" />

The night dives were exciting. We had 15 stingrays hanging with us on our first night dive!

Last octopus I saw was at Kelly's cove, hiding in a conch shell. A little guy, looked like a bowl of spaghetti, same colour as the shell. The one before was at the chimney. Out in the open, same colour as his surroundings. But never seen them change. Seen lots of squid change colour
