Admiralty

Fourth dive of the day starts out at 40 feet with a swim through a long tunnel. Inside the tunnel there is an old anchor imbedded in the coral. I was diving with Kevin, another single diver on the boat and we were both following Claire, one of our dive guides. It is very easy to follow Claire as she goes slow and also has a noisy regulator, so even if you cant see her you can hear her. After the anchor there comes a fork in the tunnel.

The left fork dead ends while the right one gives you your exit. After the anchor I turned around to take some photo’s of Kim and Jay from Texas…. And found that they were behind another two divers. Just then I saw a four foot moray come out of a hole and swim past me. Tried to get a few photos’ but it was too dark and it did not come out.

Later in the dive we saw a 5 foot reef shark lying in the sand. This one did not spook too easily and I was able to lay down in the sand bottom and get quite close to it. I was happy to get that close to a shark. Little did I know what was coming.
