Kirsten has blisters on her toes from the fins. We have 4 hours of some great video, including footage of a couple different octopuses.
Skull Caves
We took an on-shore tour of the Skull Caves. The skulls are centuries old; they date back to intertribal warfare. Tribes with bigger skull piles had bigger reputations. They paid no concern to warriers, women, or children. The skulls all have a hole on the top, the size of a sword or stone ax (clearly the cause of death). The tribes finally buried the skulls in caves some time later. Where they rest now has a calcium drip on them, so they're slowly melting over time.
Nudibranch
These bottom-dwelling, shell-less mollusks are part of the sea slug family; they have some of the most fascinating shapes, colors, and patterns of any animal on Earth.
Anemone Fish
These are one of my favorite things to watch underwater. All they do is play in the anemone.
