We had another great dive day with Kor Sun Dives. We went to two dive sites - Dream House and Turtle Alley. Both were incredible dives. We enjoyed the abundance and variety of small fish and the beautiful coral formations.
Dive master Jeff led us thorough a passageway at Turtle Alley dive site. We saw three turtles at this dive site.
These butterfly fish were so graceful. They followed us around for almost 20 minutes. At one point, a pair of them swam right over my head and cast a little bit of a shadow. I freaked out a little because I could sense something right above me and was hoping it wasn't a shark. I was so happy to see that it was just these fish.
Today's dive sites were perfect. We had such a good time.
During our first dive, we went searching for hammerhead sharks. Jeff led the group out into the deep blue water at around 85 feet.
It was a bit unsettling being out in the deep blue water away from the coral reefs. Every direction you looked (up, down, left, right, forward, backward) was just empty blue water. It was very disorienting. My husband set his camera to record and let it run. This is a portion of that video. My husband said he felt dizzy like he had vertigo, that is why the video is so jerky. We all stayed close to Jeff so we would not get lost or left behind. It was amazing how small and vulnerable you felt being out in the deep blue water, not sure if anything (sharks) was coming towards you. It certainly made our hearts beat a bit faster. Unfortunately, we did not see any hammerheads. But we did see some large striped barracudas.
After we finished our dives, we went to the Savusavu Farmer's Market. I wish I would have taken a picture of the rows and rows of produce and goods laid out on wooden tables. We bought potatoes, papaya, passion fruit, eggplant, pineapple, and bok choy.
