Christmas Island | |
We went to Christmas Island after Cocos (Keeling) Island. We planned to do 8 dives and would do more if we could. Unfortunately, Mother Nature was to be a problem. The seas were big for the full week that we were there. I managed 3 dives while the rest of the group managed 4 or 5. I missed out on one day because I was bitten on the finger by a nesting titan triggerfish. I went to the hospital, got antibiotics and it's take almost 2 months to get full strength back. The dives I did do were all on the Resort side of the Island. One was from the Resort lagoon, a long walk and the other 2 were drift dives from their boat. We did see 2 giant hammerheads - they were a bit scary. We dived with Mark and Karen from Indian Ocean Diving. |

When we couldn't dive we toured the island. We went to the
Blowholes, the Dales, saw the new detention centre being built, did a
tour of the phosphate mines and visited as many places as we could.
Mark and Aaron even played a round of golf.
