Mantanani Island

Day 2

We arranged for a snorkel and went to Rocky Point which is a shallow reef between two rocky outcrops. Peter couldn’t snorkel because he still had an infected ear. There was a lot of fish of many different types and some lovely bright blue coral growing. 

Nick and Lachlan did an introduction to scuba diving lesson that went for 3 hours. First they did some theory and then they went into the water in their scuba gear off the beach. After that they went in the boat for a dive of about 5 metres between Gilly Reef and Sting Ray Avenue. Although Nick was excited and a little nervous to be scuba diving he didn’t observe much different to when he snorkels. Peter and Jon went for a walk along the beach picking up rubbish and putting it in garbage bags. The area in front of the resort is clean and tidy, and there is not much rubbish in the water however either side of the beach there is a lot of rubbish on the high tide line. A lazy afternoon in and out of the water snorkelling and swimming, and then in the late afternoon a storm came across and we watched the lightning splay across the sky.
