While we do communicate - we can't spend too much time on the satellite phone, they screamed with joy! The first stop was the super remote Island of Pulau Pejantan and they loved it. Aside from not seeing ANY boats for many hours before and after the dive, they said the diving itself was incredible. Pristine reefs, really vibrant fish life - schools of Bumphead Parrotfish. And the groups chose to go separate directions as the sites were completely unexplored and they liked the idea of each group getting to dive a place that may have never been dived by anyone - ever!
After the excitement of the dive and the long journey ahead - they departed. Sadly they did not have enough time to explore the island more fully...but I am sure we can do that on the return trip in October :)The transit to the the next destination was going to be almost 18 hours - so they did just the one dive. As part of the trip they were crossing the equator during daylight hours. so they stopped and did an "Equator Dive"!
Not much to see - but something not many people can say they've done!
Everyone is in very high spirits and looking forward to the adventures ahead - including the possibility of visiting an Orangutang Sanctuary on the mainland! There is much, much more to see and experience in the weeks ahead - and we are all watching (and reading) eagerly to learn more!
