It's hard and sad to believe I only have one day of diving left in Sabang, just two more dives here. Every time I have been in the water, I have seen something new or different. Today was no exception. On the first dive, I saw my second sea snake. Jimminey Cricket! That I could have done without. It was swimming by us in an undulating snake like manner. My dive master said later that it was a rare snake to see. Imagine my joy – NOT. OK, I have seen enough sea snakes, too many sea snakes, no more thank you. He stayed by me this time and didn't chase it down and grab it, for which I was quite thankful but I think he was rather wistful looking through his dive mask.
The second dive today produced some very interesting things that I didn’t even know existed. I saw a crocodile snake eel, a very large crab that looked very much like pac-man, a crocodile fish, and a little dragonfish that was sooooo cute. The variety of life here underwater is just so fantastic. I am very sad at having to leave.
