We had set our alarms for 6:45am so that we could eat breakfast and be at the dive shop by 8:15am. But as usual we were up at sunrise at 5am.
Breakfast was excellent, with lots of fresh fruit (pineapple, bananas, passion fruit, apples, oranges, papaya).
The dive shop is run by the daughter of the Nakia Resort owners, just a five minute walk down the road. We walked over in our full gear, I’m sure the locals are used to seeing this by now.
There were two other couples snorkeling with us, including two doctors. (It seems like about half the other people we’ve met so far have been doctors or nurses.)
The water was really smooth, similar to our ferry ride yesterday. Rainbow reef is at the south end of the Somosomo strait, about 30 minutes from the dive shop. We snorkeled at two sites, Cabbage Patch, and then Storm Warning. At the 2nd site you could see why they call it rainbow reef - there were fish and coral of all the colours of the rainbow. It’s one the best sites I’ve seen for both. The smooth water made taking pics much easier.
We were back on shore by noon, showered and having lunch by 1pm. We relaxed the rest of the day.
