 diver-with-purple-stove-pipe-sponge Good evening all, Aimee and I are finally winding down after a fast paced day of running around. This morning we drove to Directors Bay and did an hour walk with the dogs. They both kept themselves busy looking for anything nasty to eat while Aimee and I hunted for seashells. We had a great shell finding morning but seconds after finding them we quickly realized that every single one had a little hermit crab inside so back they went right where we found them. There was one spot in particular that Aimee found that was just covered in little crabs and each one had a different shell it was really pretty cool.
We kind of raced home after that Aimee had to be at a meeting at work and I had cameras to get ready for the dive today. We took off to Blue Bay at around noon under a blazing hot sun and very gusty winds which made our swim out to the wall a bit interesting today. We ended up having to swim on our backs for 10 to 15 minutes in rough seas until we were over the dive site the whole time being followed by a large barracuda! I don’t trust them at all! The visibility wasn’t bad but nothing like it was last week. Aimee spotted a little turtle but he was at the surface resting and getting some air, she also spotted two big porcupinefish chasing each other, I am guessing it was a male looking for love? We had a fun dive and accomplished what we went for. I needed some nice purple stove pipe sponges with a diver and this place has some great specimens!! We kind of just swam from cluster to cluster each one seemed to be better than the last, I just love these purple beauties! This is really a great dive spot, fish everywhere! After a long dive Aimee and I both got out cold, it’s the one time when a hot Curacao sun feels great!
That’s about for our fun day, we just had some yummy Chinese food from the snack down the street and are now ready for bed, Inca lead the way! Till tomorrow, Barry
