******************************
The purpose of this dive is to retrieve a lost spear from American’s spear gun which went overboard. However Jamie manages to add to the confusion by first requiring an extra weight or two to help keep his slim body buoyant in the water and then dropping said weight to the sea bed 15m below, so now they’re on a “Retrieve the Spear and Weight Diving Adventure”.
They make use of the mooring line and use it as a descent guide. Jamie is always slow to equalise so American waits at the bottom by the concrete block and immediately comes across an eel.
With Jamie down, the pair make their way towards the first bombie that surrounds the rock face above water.
They’ve have been down for almost 45 minutes so it’s time to head back to the ascent line, but not before American retrieves his spear and that lost weight. Although most of the dive was only in 15m depth they do a controlled ascent anyway, taking their time to make their way back to American’s boat, Synchronicity.
Whilst the boys take a dive Alicia and Liz catch up on that beach that only reveals itself at low water. We put the world to rights.
We spend ages on the shore chatting, as the warm water laps around us. We’re awoken from our calm by some action in the water. Having found his spear, American has been putting it to good use.
We talk about the Trash Hero project we came across on Koh Lipe, where local and tourists get together to clean the beaches and donate the rubbish to recycling projects around Thailand. It turns out that Alicia is involved in a similar project back in the States with the Teeki brand of active wear.
Today has been an extraordinary day, from anchoring among nesting birds close to the rockfaces, seeing off squalls, diving among the many coral reefs and chatting on the shore, Koh Hah Yai will goes down as one of our favourite anchorages of all time. In the next episode, however, you’ll find out how American brings us all back down to earth, putting Alicia off her dinner in the process.
