Subject: Post: <p>The diving day was not a bad day either. We took the boat 40km from the coast to the Isla de la Plata again in the morning and did two dives there. On both dives we were accompanied by multiple huge manta rays, over five meters in wingspan. The water was cold at sub 20C temperatures, so the dives were done in thick seven millimeter wetsuits which took a while to get used to. Much the same gear which is used when diving in Finland at summertime. Unfortunately our eight person dive group consisted of six total beginners and us, so.. There were so annoyances in avoiding the bouncing rookies and uncontrolled fin kicks, but the mantas made up for that.</p><p>After the dive a young humpback whale baby and the family arranged a show for us. The baby (just the size of a regular car, unlike the bus-size parents) was playing around all the time, jumping in the air, swimming belly up on the surface and even splashing water on one of the boats. Was fun to watch and photograph. :)</p><p>In the afternoon we reached the town again, had pizzas in an Italian restaurant and drove in darkness to a bad hotel in middle on nowhere, in an attempt to reduce some of tomorrow's driving. Tomorrow will be a long driving day to reach the highlands again.</p> Latitude: Longitude: Security Code:
