The last dive of the trip was at the Blue Hole.
The Sea Explorer joined us at the dive site, and yes there is a rivalry between the boats. We were informed that if you ended your dive by getting back on the wrong boat after the dive, you owed a case of beer to that boat. I'm not saying there was an effort to convince Sea Explorer divers that they needed to ascend on our upline rather than theirs . . .
Jay, Gino and I decided to enjoy a nice deep dive for our final dive. This would work as we all had later flights out on Friday, allowing for a full 24 hour no-flying period.
So we did a solid descent and dropped down to 108 feet.
We also checked out the cave that's at around 70 feet as well.
There was a lot of particulate in the water that made photos less than awesome.
A nice little cave.
We then ascended and hung around the top of the blue hole to admire the sea life there.
A gorgeous Triggerfish:
The happiest blue parrotfish I've ever seen:
This fish had a great smile and waved his fins at the divers.
Some quick headshots under water, and then that was the dive.
The last dive with Blackbeard's was a great success. Our last dive together as a buddy team, at least for now.
We then got back on the Morningstar, hung up our gear, started packing things away, and began the voyage back to Nassau.
Average depth was 45 feet for a nice 42 minute dive and it was dive #300 for me, so a nice milestone to achieve on the last dive of the trip.
