Drove our bikes to the jetty after breakfast and met up with the dive Master and boat for a 9:00 AM departure for Sister Island. It was a nice dive but I had some problems with my regulator and lost 50 bars of air just before descending so I only had 150 instead of 200 bars of air.
I still was able to stay down for 49 minutes because it wasn't a deep dive
. (12metres-39 feet)
We saw a giant sting ray, a white tipped shark, giant parrot fish (first time) and a few others I must identify.
The second dive was at Albatross and now my octopus was losing tiny bubbles at first but then it just decided to empty my tank at an alarming rate as I was going down. I freaked out, and headed back up while I continued to try and stop it. No way was I going to dive and have this stress during my dive. I had Andrea (dive master) to help me but when the air continued to come out, I headed for the boat and got out. Francois stayed down for about 20 minutes and he resurfaced because he was not feeling so great before going in. There was big waves hitting the boat and so he figured he would be better off In the water. No luck, he was sick anyways when he surfaced because it was also very choppy down under.
Got back to the hotel around 1:00, took a shower and rested, must go pay for our dives before 4:30PM.
