Day 3: Monday, February 10th, 2025

We got to the restaurant a bit early but they were ready for us. Scrambled eggs, bacon, etc - normal breakfast fare. It is a buffet but a waiter refills Mike's coffee. There are a number of different juices to choose from, including orange juice, green juice, orange-carrot, grapefruit and even beet juice. So far we've stuck with the orange juice.

Today our two dives were similar to yesterday's... one near the south end of the island and one near the resort. Gabriel Jr. was our divemaster. Palancar Horseshoe was the first dive. It had a lot of jelly fish (just small ones) where we dropped in. They stung us a bit but it's like a bug bite and didn't bother us later. We had a neat swim through section at one point. Drift diving definitely is different - you really don't have to swim at all - you let the current take you along and be sure to pay attention to what's around you so you don't miss it!

The 2nd dive was at Yucab. Early on, Mike found a cheap dive light, so now we own one of those! Someone else thought she saw a camera floating but couldn't quite get to it. There was also a lot of plastic floating around - maybe something happened? Right after we dropped in, we saw a HUGE porcupine fish hanging out under a ledge. Later on, weaving through various coral structure, we saw a couple lobster. At first they were just walking the same direction but one of them decided to turn around and then they started fighting - that was quite the show! Greta tried getting some video of a few fish swimming and ended up also filming a small green moray eel swimming underneath it all.

After getting back to the resort, we decided today would be a relaxing day on the resort. We sat in the hot tub for a bit and then went back to our room. We had also decided today to leave all our gear with the dive shop - for a small fee, they handle all the rinsing/cleaning/drying for us. We can do it in our room but it's a little messy and it's so humid that nothing dries out, so since we're on vacation, we decided to take advantage of it all.

We spent the afternoon lounging on our patio overlooking the relaxing pool. We got some ceviche delivered from Le Cap which was wonderful and had a couple of beers to go with it. Later on, we headed to El Caribeno Restaurante for Happy Hour and to watch the sun set, then had supper. Mike had the fish tacos and Greta had a whole fried fish. She tries to get that once nearly every vacation - it's a lot of work to eat all the fish off the bone but it's always very good.
