Lexington - 4/12/17. Fakarava



We had a full day in Fakarava. I went to a dive shop early in the morning. I left the boat at about 7:15 to find the dive shop and arrange some diving. They had a dive arranged for 8 a.m. I quickly got things done and took the dinghy back to the boat so everyone else would have transportation while I was diving. The dive boat came by the boat to pick me up.

I had originally been certified for open water diving way back in 1986. I had not done any diving for several years. We went on two dives. One was along a reef on the outside of the atoll and the other was in the channel during slack or near slack current. I was somewhat rusty. One of the dive masters was very kind and gave me personal attention. There were 4 other divers but they were all very experienced and had been diving with this group earlier in the week. The one dive master stayed by my side and gave me instructions. I was having a little trouble clearing my ears. I also tend to breath too fast and use up my air too soon.

Sam is going to start lessons tomorrow. I will do a remedial lesson to get rid of a little rust.

The rest of the day I rented a bicycle and toured around looking at the surroundings.

Tonight we went to Pearl Lodge for dinner. It was very nice. I will have a photo.

May fair winds fill your sails with plenty of air!
