Day 266 - 28th October 2010



Today, Jen and I went onto the afternoon boat. Although neither of us are able to dive just yet, we were able to help on board with transplanting corals for the rope nurseries.

We went to Twins dive site, where they have 4 buoy lines. It was quite busy with dive boats, and after mooring up, the divers entered the water to collect coral fragments. While they were diving, I spotted a dive boat from one of the biggest dive schools on the island, dropping an anchor. This is a photo of the dive boat. Dropping anchor is a ridiculous, and irresponsible practice that deserves naming and shaming. There is no need for it.


Anyway, rant over.... the divers returned and we cracked on with the transplanting as quick as possible to minimise the stress to the coral.

Then the heavens opened... check out the boat boy in his rain coat... it was sooooo cold!



Upon returning, it turned out that the owner of the dive school was having a birthday party, so Eco Film Night was cancelled... no worries... next week instead.!

Is anybody going to speak to the owner of the dive company? And the boy on the boat was cold? Jeeze, he wants to be here then!

The rain coat looks very fashionable (not). The other boat should have been fined, but suppose they don't do that sort of thing out there. xxxx

Politics of the island... not much we can do, until it becomes law..
