May 24th I took a break from studying and went diving with Fernando and his family (from San Jose, Costa Rica) and Tim and Chandra (from England). There were lots of white-tip reef sharks at Argentina Point (I counted at least 10). They were hanging out from 30ft to 80ft, which allowed our open water student, Perry, get to see sharks on her very first dive. We found a yellow sea horse and a juvenile high hat plus lots of octopus. We watched two octopus fighting with each other. That was really cool, I think they were planning to mate and we startled them. They were flicking their tentacles at each other and then one swam away and camouflaged itself to look like the sandy bottom while the other one tried really hard to look like the rock. For our second dive we choose Tortuga (Key Largo) and Kike found a really nice red frog fish. No better way to refresh you brain than a great day of diving.
