We did two dives and a night dive yesterday. They were very eventful. We finally got to see the famous mimic octopus. It wasn't quite what Ryan expected since he didn't realize until we came up from the dive that we had finally seen the mimic octopus (pictured above) that we had been looking for since we got here. We also saw the ornate ghost pipefish (black spiky thing above). This had eluded us for the two weeks we've been diving as well.
Since we had the afternoon off before our night dive at 6:30, we went into town and got one hour massages for $10 each! Ryan has been looking forward to this since he started reading about the Philippines last fall. It just proves his ultimate cheapness! He was more excited about the fact that it was $10 each than he was about getting an hour massage! :)
The last two pictures are from our night dive. There were two squid that were being playful. The other thing is a stargazer and it buries itself in the sand. All you can see are its eyes and mouth. Our dive master found this and got it to come out of the sand so we could see it. It is quite an ugly creature!
We had trouble with the internet connection today. We will post again tomorrow morning and tell you about today's dives (it is 5:30 pm here right now).
