Diving Update

In Papua New Guinea...

We have had some rain here but it doesn't affect our diving. Just before we arrived they had quite a rain spell. The water has been a perfect 82 degrees and the visibility under water is fabulous. Dad has done 8 out of the 9 dives we have done so far. I think that is a record for him! He only had one headache the first day and missed one of the dives.

We get up at 6:00 am, eat breakfast at 7:00 am and leave for diving at 8:00 am. We get back about 4 or 5:00 pm and nap until dinner at 7. While on the boat we have snacks after the first dive, lunch after the second. The food has been delicious. Michelle I have not had a soda since I have been here, water only. I am in bed easily by 9:00 and we are both sleeping well.

Last night we lost our power for a couple of hours. The main line to the generator burned up. Luckily as divers we all had lights with us. We sat around and talked by candlelight, and ate dinner that way too. The hardest part was it got so hot in the dining area without the AC or fan going.

Four people have birthdays while we are here. It is nice because the chef makes them a cake.

We have already seen some incredible fish that we have not seen before. And of course we have seen my favorite anemone fish, or Nemo. I could watch them play all day.

At end end of the week a live-aboard boat will pick us up at the end of the dock and we will do the second half of our trip on a boat. I enjoy the rocking motion of being on a boat.
