David was diving again today, he opted for the morning double dive and jumped aboard the 9am departure. It was a bit overcast and the sea beyond the reef didn't look it's usual calm this morning. It wasn't long either before the boat was being tossed around like a cork and as usual, when the sea is rough, you travel slower than normal which just prolongs the time you need to keep hold of your breakfast.

Texas is on the southernmost tip of the island, so about as long a journey as we could possibly make but we all all made intact. Like the other dives, there was loads of colourful hard and soft corals and opportunities for some great photos.

A very slow, very bumpy boat ride during our surface interval took us to Turtle Crossing. David was once told that when naming a new dive, you should never name it after marine life you have spotted because it might jinx it and it's never seen again. The coral was pristine but not much marine life, only one barracuda had a quick swim past out in the blue. After 50 minutes, a turtle finally 'crossed' our path although it wasn't hanging around for a photo shoot.

A tropical rainstorm passed though at lunchtime, it was the first heavy rain we have seen since arriving in Central America. It only lasted about 20 minutes and we were soon out the door to have a walk around West End. To the north, we found an unsealed road that led up to coast round the headland. The contrast to Half Moon Bay was immense, the coastline here was like jagged, volcanic rock - exactly the same as in Niue.

Back in Half Moon Bay, we had an ice cream on the beach, watching all the locals enjoying their Public Holiday day off.
