- I just don't log dives
The crazy currents continue. Most but not all dives over the past couple of days have had really strong current with up-wellings, down-wellings and all kinds of weirdness. So much sand in the water and so much current I have been leaving the camera at the hotel. We have also washed so much sand from our hair after dives you would think we had been at the beach. Sometimes the currents push toward the shore, sometimes toward the blue.
Yesterday did a dive at Dalila and we ended up near the start of Santa Rosa Wall, where we were visited by a pod of dolphins during the safety stop...what a lucky break!
Saw something new yesterday, a large hawksbill swimming in place. Truly, he was swimming, but not moving forward at all.
A little less current would be nice. Maybe today will be calmer. If it doesn't die down tomorrow, I think we should take a shot at finding the fastest currents we can and just go for the ride.
