Today the weather was absolutely perfect for diving. We got all our stuff and the camera rig and headed out to take plot pictures. Andy and I dropped down and when we got to the first plot, the strobes weren't going off. After a few minutes trying to fix it under water, he aborted the dive and we ended up having to go back. He got it fixed in 20 minutes so it wasn't too big of an issue and we then headed back out. We did two dives out there today and got 5 more plots done leaving us with 10 more plots or two days of work to go. When we got back in it was around 4:30 which made it impossible for me to take photos of my corals on Gump before the night dive tonight. For our dive master certification course, we are required to lead a night dive and tonight was my turn. Steph and I led 4 people on a dive of a site across the channel in the lagoon. It went real well for the most part and everyone seemed to enjoy themselves. We saw some cool wildlife including an octopus, sleeping parrotfish, and many other types of fish roaming around the coral bommies. When we came back in we gave a little debrief and then everyone was on their way. We ate dinner shortly after with some chicken and pineapple fried rice which was good as usual. After dinner we had our review from Keith about our performance which was pretty good. We got good marks on just about everything. Once we were done with that I got to work for a little while before I started to get really tired. I had a long night last night so I think I am going to go to bed early. Until later.
