Day 13: Wreck and Double Reef


First dive today was the Hilma Hooker, a 72m cargo freighter that was sunk in 1984. The second was Angel City which is one of the many dive sites in the double reef system. Andy spotted our first Lionfish which are not native to the Carribean and are removed when found. Unfortunately, we did not have any flagging tape to mark the location so the Lionfish will see another day.

After a leisurely lunch and a couple hours relaxing we decided to knock off our third dive of the day at Bachelor's Beach. As we were on our way back through the shallows, several fish scooted by us one by one, now dubbed 'the crazy train fish' by Andy, we half expected to see a smiling shark chasing after them. It's easy to see how the writers for Finding Nemo come up with the characters.


We had dinner as Casablanca restaurant which was recommended in a local food guide. It suggested trying the mixed grill for two and stated "Guaranteed you won't leave hungry!" Three of us shared the stack o' meat (mixed grill) and still brought back a whole chicken for lunch.
