25 November Diving at Sugar Loaf

red snapper supper

Yesterday David and I went for a dive close to the boat at Ile Cabrits with the intention of catching a fish for Polly. Didn't have to be too big, but without scales and one with not many bones would have been good. Instead David snagged a large red snapper and a change of purpose; four delicious fish suppers for us and the trimmings for the cat. Sorry Polly.

We went for another dive today, across the bay on the rocks below Sugar Loaf Point, with Jo and Nigel Wychcraft and their friends who were snorkelling. The diving here is beautifully easy; we swim slowly around the point at the base of the rocks for half an hour and then turn around and come back at a depth of 10m. There's plenty of little things to see and going slow allows the eyes to wander and pick up the interesting bits like an anemone with shrimps. You don't see sharks here.
