When we awoke in the morning Spirit of Freedom was moored at Cod Hole on the Riibon Reef #10. We were excited and looking forward to the five dive day ahead.

After a light first breakfast of fruit and muselie we headed to the dive deck and geared up.

Leo and I teamed up with Peter Fear and Cecile. My first dive in the company of Peter "Poetry in Motion" Fear. Mossy gave the dive briefing and we made our way to the dive platform.

We headed out to fully explore the site, but taking our time to enjoy the close and personal sightings of the cod and sharks.

Towards the end of the dive we'd stopped a while to take a good close look at a large cod. Then Peter and Cecile headed off in what I thought was the wrong direction. Bowing to ther superior knowledge and experience, Leo and I followed.

In due course the terrain wasn't matching the dive briefing and we grouped together. I indicated that I thought we needed to be heading back the other way. The others weren't so sure, plus they were getting low on air.

Leo headed to the surface and confirmed that we had been going the wrong way, away from the boat. We all ascended and started to make our way back to the boat on the surface. Thankfully the tender was sent out to take us back.

Then it was time to settle down for the second breakfast. Andrew the chef was certainly keeping a plentiful supply of delicious food coming our way.
