Wednesday - Day 5

I was really surprised today that we got up as early as we did, given the drinking we did the night before.  But, we were up at a decent time and headed out of Cooper with a goal of Monkey point.  We sailed up to Marina Cay where we dropped the sails and motored the rest of the way.  Monkey point was half full when we got there so we grabbed a ball and did some snorkeling.  Snorkeling was great and everyone enjoyed it.  Steph, Andy and I are taking a wreck course with Dive BVI today though, so we couldn’t stay too long as we needed to get to Scrub so we could do the classroom portion (1.5 hours).  So we left and we’re docked at Scrub around 1:30.  This gave us time for lunch before sitting down with Tara for our classwork.

Andy and Laura decided to stay at a room on scrub, and we’re thinking about just staying here as Laura was pretty uncomfortable from some jelly fish stings she got.  So they got settled in their room at this time as well. 

After the classroom work, we had about an hour before a night dive we had scheduled with Dive BVI as well.  Time came quick and we headed out to Diamond Reef with them.  This was the first night dive for all 3 of us.  It was definitely fun, but I think we all expected to see a bit more life that you normally only see at night.  I suppose it all depends on luck of the draw as well.  We did however enjoy the dive and still saw some things that you don’t see as often, including a crab that was sitting on some coral eating.  Then some tarpon at the end of the dive circling us.

After the dive, we grabbed dinner at the restaurant by the pool.  Dinner was good, drinks were better (although pricey!) and we called it a night after dinner – another long day and we were all tired!
