Subject: Post: The long days finally required some sleep, so we skipped exploring Peleliu in the morning and just slept until the dive boat arrived around 11. Besides, it was again raining heavily so going out didn’t really sound like a good choice.This was the first dive day, with two dives. Both dive sites were partially reef caves, so.. a good start for Iryna on her first real open water dives after the course. She did training course in a quarry, so real sea is a different thing. Well, she survived just fine. :)The diving conditions here are perfect. Underwater visibility is easily 50 meters, water is warm at 30C and there is a lot of marine life. We spotted at least four sharks and an spotted eagle ray today, in addition to millions of other fish.Tomorrow it’s time to get off Peleliu back to Koror, again on the slow state boat. Cannot say it’s a bad thing.. The accommodation on the main island is much more comfortable with soft beds (here only a 1cm matress) and air conditioning, the restaurants serve excellent fish and so on. On Peleliu island there is basically only one restaurant open and they only serve not so tasty burgers and nothing else..By the way, there is no internet access on Peleliu so these blog entries will be posted online only when we reach the main island again.
