Today we went scuba diving, but we had to get up really freakin early,,, again. 5 am. After rolling out of bed, we headed down to the marina to meet our boat. We loaded up and headed out on the ocean just as the sun was coming up. We got to our dive site and headed out. Our dive was cleverly named 5 Caves because, I assume,,, there were 5 caves :)
We saw a bunch of amazing aquatic creatures, got to go into a bubble cave,
into a cave with a bunch of aggro sharks,
and tons of turtles. Not gonna lie, when a 8 ft white tipped reef shark quickly swam within a few feet of my shoulder, im pretty sure i peed a little in my wetsuit.
Our next dive was down to a little wreck. There wasn't as many creatures to see, but it was tons of fun playing around the in wreck.
I did have to have a little stare down turtle who wouldn't stay on his side of the fence.
After we got back from the dive, we grabbed a quick bite to eat and headed out to the hike our waitress had told us about. We were going to the Iao park, which is where the famous Iao needle is located (an inactive volcano).
Our waitress had told us that when we got to the little lookout, we should jump over the fence (with signs saying NOT to) and just stay on the trail until we came out onto a little plateau. We jumped the fence (ignoring all the looks), and headed off into the jungle.
It was an amazing hike through the greenest valley I have seen in a long time.
We heard there were some wild fruit on the way up.
After an hr and a half, we finally made it to the plateau.
It was so amazing.
We took a bunch of pics, and headed back home. After dinner, we were so incredibly tired that we went to bed by 8:30!!!
