First day of diving

We have become accustomed to our new time zone.  We were up a little earlier than normal, but can't complain for changing 13 hours!  We dove three times today.  Had some issues with our cameras, but overall it was a great diving day.  We saw many different nudi branches (snails).  We also saw so many sea horses that we couldn't even count them all!  There were many different types of lionfish and clownfish.  It was interesting to see the cuttlefish, very similar to our squid.  Our divemaster showed us some pictures of the rarer things that we would be lucky to see on our dive.  Apparently he showed us a couple rare things this morning, but we didn't even realize what we were looking at...everything to us is so new that we thought we were just looking at seaweed.  We didn't appreciate it enough until he showed us the macro photography book and pointed out the once in a million type of organisms. 

We're thoroughly enjoying our time here, from the topside to the underwater beauty.  It is just amazing...looking out in the distance and seeing mountains covered with tropical foliage and clouds hanging over the tips! 

Just some random photos that we shot today...we're still trying to get used to the camera gear and the dive sites, so bare with us...
