The beach was white and the skies were blue.  Very nice day.  Walking the beach, wading in the clear water, playing on the swing and having delicious foods were on the agenda.

The dive facilities at Artistic Diving were top notch.  After a short discussion with Alvie the dive master, we planned a 2pm dive on nitrox at A Rock.  The dive site was only 5 minutes from the resort, and I think the max depth was around 22m.  The vis was quite good, no current, and we saw lots of different wildlife.  Pipe fish, flounder which enjoyed being petted by Alvie, and lots of other macro sea life.  After 60 minutes, I gave Alvie the sign it was ok to go up.  You know, I think he wanted to stay down longer, can’t ask for more than that from a dive guide!

Next time I look forward to spending more time in Sipalay and exploring many of the dive sites available there.
