Last day to dive today with the 24 hour no fly rule. We were up early again hoping to dive the Blue Hole on the windy west side of the island. We checked it out yesterday and it seemed doable from shore as long as the wind was down (if the wind is up you are promised a serious thrashing trying to get back to shore). Unfortunately, it was one of the windier mornings we've had here so we went back to Something Special. Down to 130 ft on the first dive hoping to see a ray on the sandy bottom but instead we were greeted by a 'field' of garden eels. A ray would have been a nice touch on the last day but we always enjoy the little eels. We decided to go back to Karpata for the second dive, our favorite sight by far, it was a great way to end the diving for the girls. The boys headed back out around 3:30 for a late afternoon dive at Red Beryl. Managed to track down another green moray eel, several baracuda and an assortement of what are now the usual suspects.
