Today's first dive was another training dive towards our advanced diver certificate. We're still at Net Reef and we did a multi-level dive. We go down to 18 meter for a time then ascend a few meters for a time and ascend a little more. Our second dive was a pleasure dive along a reef wall, the water was extremely deep, so we had to watch our depth carefully. The 3rd dive of the day the boat moved to a new reef called Bait Reef. We did a "drift dive" - the current moves you along so you don't have to swim as much. We finally saw something different - a shark! It was about 6-8 feet long, not too big, but cool! When we ascended and were near the boat, there were a bunch of fish called Trevalys. They're fat and about 2-4 feet long. The crew aboard the boat was throwing food into the water so the fish were in a frenzy. We had to swim up through them, they were harmless, they would get close enough to brush up against you. The 4th dive of the day was another night dive which I passed on because of a bad headache.
