Day 102 - 17th May 2010

After yesterdays breakfast disaster, I cycled down into Sairee with our new tuppawear and went to 'Zest' and ordered fruit, yoghart & museli and then stopped at 7Eleven for OJ.
I think the tuppawear is a brilliant idea as normally the portions they give wouldnt even fill half the container and they filled it to the top for the same price  Bargain!!!  :-)
Si and I ate a healthy portion and still had some left over, so popped in the fridge for tomorrows breaky.

Around midday, we biked down to Crystal for the afternoon boat for double 'Champon'.  Every time we dive there we've always taken our camera's for the chance of seeing a whale shark but today we didnt.  Guess what?  No whale sharks in sight but we did find at 33m a very long fishing net with so many dead/stuggling fish in it that it was very upsetting, neither Si or I had our dive knives/scissor on us but still tried freeing some of the them but to no avail.

Our second dive was pretty short and we just swam around the pinnacle for half an hour and surfaced.   I just wish we could have done another deep dive with a cutting implement to free some of the drowning fish.

In the evening, we went to 'Tattoo Bar' for food, which was slightly disappointing.  Si's veggie burger & chips was very greasy and tasteless. My taco was very small and not what I'd imagined but I must say the sunset was lovely.


After eating we then headed to Crystal for a couple of beers whilst watching the Open Water video's and headed home .

Regarding the net, was a fishing net or one that had been dumped? Will you be attempting to cut it up?

Dumped... And attempting to cut it up will be difficult.. cos its down at 33m... max time down there is VERY limited... But watch this space.. if we can, we will!
