24 July - Manta Dive with some wine and cheese

Well Nic and the kids are well and truly back in Pohnpei. After what can only be described as an ordinary flight (leaving Cairns at Midnight and arriving after lunch in Pohnpei) it took a couple of days for them all to get back to normal. Come Saturday the weather was great and we took the boat out with our neighbours Dean and Heather. The plan was to have a snorkel/dive with some manta rays at low tide then find a nice sheltered spot and have some wine and cheese. So after the babysitter arrived and was settled in, off we went.

The water wasn't as clear as it has been of late due to massive amounts of rain causing the streams and rivers to purge into the ocean. The water was a beautiful 28 degrees so it was certainly a nice dive. Nic and Scott got to the bottom at about 18 metres and enjoyed seeing all the fish and a couple of huge manta rays.

Not a bad photo of a huge manta gliding on by.

Nic picked up some new jigs for Scott so of course one of them had to be tested while we were out there. It didn't take too long at all for some success with a little coral trout joining us in the boat.


Relaxing after a couple of wines on the way back home.

Dean and Heather enjoying the fact that they don't have any kids, yet.....
