Thursday....
I got up this morning hoping that there was room on the boat to the west end. Alas, the boat was full. I was moved to the blue boat for the day with 4 divers from our yellow boat.

We headed out to Pirates Point and had a great dive. This dive is a slow one, with lots to look for. The first thing found was a yellow seahorse. Everyone got a look and we kept moving. At the mooring anchor, which is an old crane, there were 2 large grouper. I kept chasing them out so the photographers could get good pics. After all of the pics were taken, everyone headed to search again. I moved about 20' from the crane when I found 2 juvenile spotted drum. These are just beautiful to behold. I banged on my tank, but only the other divemaster even looked my way. Oh well, I get these to myself! They are so dainty and graceful...

We found a couple more seahorses on the soft coral, and soon it was time to head back towards the boat. Everyone was diligently searching for the next little critter. I found myself in a sand chute, looking at several jawfish. These little guys are so fun to watch. I spent 5-10 min there.

 We ended our dive at 1hr, to keep the divers happy. We did our surface interval at the buoy, as the seas were calm. After 45 min, we then headed for Newman's Wall for the dropoff.

 We got back and unloaded the boat and I went for a shower, as the diveshop was heading to lunch at Cal's Cantina. We had the spicy fried shrimp and lobster for an appetizer, and I ordered the filet with peppercorn sauce for my entree. It was great! If you ever get to Roatan, I highly recommend Cal's Cantina. The food is great, and the prices are even better!

 After lunch we headed back to Coco View and I started to get my gear cleaned up and dry for my return back to the states on Saturday.....

 I spent the evening BSing with some new friends, under the bright moon. Again I say the Southern Cross!
Well, I'm off to bed to rest before tomorrow comes....
