Another Day, Another Dive

I'm not sure if it's actually possible to smile with a dive regulator in your mouth, but if it is, that's exactly what I was doing this morning.

It's Day 3 of our dive vacation in Utila, Honduras, and we have had another great day of diving. Both Mouse and I are improving our technique by leaps and bounds, plus we're seeing some amazing reef along the way.

We were barely into our second dive of the day, having descended to a depth of fifty feet, when Mouse spotted a medium-sized sea turtle. He danced through the waters, slowing twisting and turning, blissfully unaware (or at least unconcerned) of our presence. He drifted about, eventually making his way to the reef wall, where he set about to have himself a little lunch of coral and sea plant. He munched away, while I hovered, transfixed with amusement. This was definitely an instance where I wish I had a good dive camera, because now my memory will have to suffice. Nevertheless, the experience left me giddy with excitement.

As seems to be the precedent here in Utopia Village, today is shaping up to be another great day.
