Day 6 was one of my favorite days!!! :) Thankfully, Charles and Lori were feeling much better, so we all decided to go out on 2 boat dives to 2 different reefs. We got on the boat about 11 am that day and didn't get back until about 4 pm. They took us to Palancar Horseshoe (the first reef), then they took us to Paso del Cedral (another reef). Palancar Horseshoe was pretty awesome and yes, a little scarier to me than the other dives I went on. Our dive master took us through many large rock formations and there were several dark places that I was a little nervous about. I was a little concerned at what might be hiding in those little dark places. ;) But, it was overall my favorite dive! The second reef we visited was pretty awesome too. We got to swim next to a sea turtle there and several barracuda, and saw a HUGE Grouper. Grouper & Sea turtle ~ cool, Barracuda ~ not as cool. ;) There were so many schools of fish that surrounded us at times and that was AMAZING! I will try to get some videos up soon. After we were finished with the second dive, we all surfaced and had to wait for the boat to come pick us up because the current took us about a mile away from it. Also, the boat had another group to pick up as well before getting our group. This was probably the most uneasy feeling I had with the whole scuba experience. Reason being, we were all out in the middle of the ocean surfacing like little bobbins waiting... and waiting... And not only that, we were right above the ocean wall, which is just a big black hole. Yeah, uneasy feeling... ;) And it felt as if the boat was never going to get to us. But, it finally did! :)
Scuba Diving was just the most awesome experience and I hope to go again someday! I can't even put into words of the many beautiful and amazing things we saw! So INDESCRIBABLE! :) By the time we got back that day we were all pretty T.I.R.E.D to say the least. Each time we went down, we stayed down for about an hour. So, 2 hours of that can be exhausting. When we got back to the hotel I think we all crashed for a nap. :) I got up in time to watch the sunset from the balcony of my room! :) Another amazing one! This time I tried to catch the sun coming down from the clouds and going into the ocean. Thus, the MANY, MANY pics of the sunset. :)
