So today was brilliant in some respects and also a bit of a waste in others! Today was diving day, so we headed on our bikes to the East Coast / main side for 10.30 to have our diving course, which was good in terms of learning in a pool and having all the things we needed, however we were waiting around a lot with another girl and a Malaysian lad on our course, who were probably not as good as either Amanda or I.
As such when we finally got to go out at 2.30pm we hadn't had time for a proper lunch and were a bit rushed. He dive itself was good, although only saw one turtle in the distance and plenty of fish, but again we were hindered a bit by the other two members of our group which was disappointing. However given the fun we both had we decided that it was worth doing another one tomorrow at 9am as we wouldn't need to do the theory!
After the dive we rode to the northern end of the island to watch the sunset and have a few beers on the huts on stilts over the sea, very cool way to watch and enjoy and get a few photos. We then headed back to the hotel for a wash before once again grabbing the bikes to hit the main side of the island to eat at scallywags. Whilst the meal a BBQ again was only ok, the waterside location was excellent as we could watch the turtles coming up for air in the bay next to us, really great! Back once again on the bikes before early to bed!
