We slept pretty well considering the heat. We each woke up once in the middle of the night to a torrential down pouring but it was gone by morning. We were back on the Saracen Bay side by 8:30AM so we grabbed ourselves some breakfast and made it to the Dive shop at 9AM. We learned to set up and put on our diving gear, got into our scuba stuff, then headed out to the calm bay. Morning provided good visibility but the bay was full of sand and nothing else, which was fine for our confined skills practice. As the day wore on though, the water became murkier and we had a hard time seeing what we were doing. We were all quite tired by 4PM even though we had only gone through four sections. We decided to leave the fifth section and the free swim for tomorrow morning before our dive and to go ahead with the Dive Planner Test. That took another 45 mins and we were finally done for the day.

We walked back over the rough trail to Sunset beach where we had lovely dinner at the Robinsons cafe - a very comfortable platform raised up into the breeze, a view of the ocean that was partially blocked by forest, kitties frolicking about. We filled up on water and delicious food before heading back to our hut. A shower to wash away the sea grime and I felt like a new woman. Early bedtime for us exhausted folks.
