Day Five - Bora Bora

Sunday, July 24th - Scuba Diving

Every minute spent earning our PADI certification this spring was made worth it today.  We went diving with Bathys in two locations, Anua and Tapu.  Anua was located outside of the lagoon and it was here that we came face-to-face with two Lemon Sharks, a Reef Shark, Barracuda, Tuna, Lion Fish, and other fish, eel and coral.  Surreal.  Our second dive, in Tapu, allowed us to swim with Giant Manta Rays.  This is one beautiful, graceful creature - time stood still - an angel, of the sea.  These were our deepest dives to date and Rick's first dives in open water.  Elyse, our dive master, helped diagnose Amanda's leaky scuba mask.  Lent us one of Bathys for the second dive - not perfect but huge improvement.  Wore scuba fog the rest of the day so we soaked in some sun and true relaxation.  Spent sunset in the hot tub.  Also learned that sausage may bring bigger fish.  Note: Steal sausage from our breakfast buffet.
