Suz napped and laid in the sun for a couple of days then was ready to be on the water. Dennis offered her a pair of soft earplugs to keep water out of her ear. She accepted the offer and snorkeled above us while we dove. She saw many fish including a shark and swam with a turtle.
Diving the rest of the week went without a hitch. Dwain, Capt. Nemo's Dive Shop, offered to replace Suz as my dive buddy. We slowed down and focused our dives on exploring the coral and sand for the wild and wonderful varieties of fish. The highlights were being up close to French and Queen Angelfish; finding a very small juvenile spotted drum fish (to small for my photographic skills); and swimming with a small hawkbill turtle. Oh yes, we did see a hammerhead shark and several reef shark...and there was the night dive....
As I became more relaxed, my air lasted longer and I had better buoyancy control. I ended the week with 14 lbs of weight...4 lbs less than the first day. I was one of the last ones to surface on a couple of dives!
Our adventure ended with our flight back to Nassau then on to Atlanta and St. Louis. I wonder when our dive gear will find its way home?
A big THANK YOU to Dwain and Mary at Capt. Nemo's for a great adventure.
