There was “minor” volcano activity near me this evening!
Translation. Note: Alert Level 1 (Low Level of Volcanic Unrest)
Funny timing because yesterday we dove through an area of bubbles coming up from the ground. The divemaster had me touch the sand: it was hot!
After we exited he explained it was from the nearby volcano.
I did some reading, and it looks like there’s a fair amount of activity from that volcano. This is just not normal for me!
Anyway…. today was the last day of diving here. Up close to a seahorse!
There were a lot of stingrays, but we mostly ignored them. The goal is small stuff!
Little fish who did not want me disturbing their beer-bottle home.
So let’s bother a crab while it’s eating instead.
Finding clear animals is a superpower the divemaster has.
Had more trouble getting clean shots on a few of today’s dives because the current was pretty strong.

This little fella was so happy to see me!
As always, nudis.
I head to Manila Thursday then fly out Friday morning for Fiji and the “official” dive trip. Can’t wait to see if I can put my new skills into action. It’ll be weird not being on a private dive. I’ll have to share the ocean with other people. Yuck!
