I've got 3 dives left while in Aquarius- tonight, and two tomorrow. We have plenty of work to get done in the water, but I also hope we get the chance to enjoy the wonders of the reef like I did last night!
Last night was my FAVORITE dive thus far. There was something in the water, a feeling of activity and excitement. We saw a hawksbill turtle feeding, a stingray feeding, and eagle rays, I found the mantis shrimp again and saw him catch another goby, I hung out with Sylvia for about 20 minutes!!!! (Sylvia is Aquarius's resident goliath grouper, FYI!)
I had such an amazing time during my dive last night, and I also had the chance to reflect on the awesome-ness while on the dive. What an amazing two weeks this has been. The diving down here has been an incredible, once in a lifetime experience. I'm going to treasure moments like last night forever.

We've been busy inside the habitat when not in the water. Today Fabien's sister Celine came to visit. She Skyped with her little son, and it was a fun visit. Celine brought Fabien some French cheese..... and it was SO SMELLY! Everything down here has very potent smells, so the cheese is triple wrapped to keep the smell from filtering throughout the whole habitat! |
I've also had the chance to Facetime with many friends and family over the last few days. It is so much fun to share my Aquarius experience with everybody. The novelty of this unique experience certainly has not rubbed off yet :)
