This morning we got up extra early and headed to Rico’s for breakfast. C, K and I enjoyed banana pancakes while Nick enjoyed waffles. After that we were off to the dive shop for diving at Hol Chan and snorkeling at Shark Ray Alley. (See post under diving category for details) When we got back Nick and I signed up for the PADI Advanced Diver course, so we’ll be doing 5 dives over the next two days for that.

After that we lounged around the pool for a few hours. The weather was the same today, hot, partly cloudy, perfect breeze. We were pretty much spent from the long day. We ate dinner at Rico’s restaurant because it was BBQ night. Then we took a cab into town so Kristen and I could get some ice cream. We ended up at Manelli’s. The ice cream was great. I had pistachio & coconut. The coconut was good, but the pistachio was the best pistachio I’ve had… and I’ve had quite a few pistachios!!

We headed back to the condo right away. Nick and I read the appropriate chapters in our PADI Adventures in Diving manuals for the beginning of our Advanced Certification courses tomorrow (deep dive, drift dive and navigation) and off to bed we go…
