Roatan 082809 Valley of the Kings

It was another amazing day of diving. Was in the water at 5:20am for a morning dip. A nice dive to start the day. The critters were out and it was a great way to start our last day. The boat left for the Valley of the Kings. Another crack in the reef wall about 90 feet at the exit. Another head first dive straight into the reef floor at 35 feet. A hard right and then the decent into the crevass that opened up at 60 feet but dropped to 90. I baled out at 78 feet to conserve my air for the remainder of the dive. The most amazing event was a 'herd' of squid. After the octopus last night, I was not sure I could top that. But a herd, band, bundle... of squid floated right in front of us. Probably two dozen little green critters with big eyes, float by. They were as curious as we were. The boat drop was to the Prince Albert where I connected with a fellow to dive the airplane wreck and then look for a cool fish he had seen the day before. Paydirt! Great dive... then back to camp to dry out gear and pack up for the trip home in the AM.
