Its my last day in tobago today, but im upbeat, am off to store bay beach. Yesterday hung out at englishmans bay which is very beautiful, did some great snorkeling /?free diving, nice squid and other fish I never saw while scuba diving, ones that must inhabit only rocks. I have been slowly getting annoyed at christina and silvia the german girls who I have been sharing the car with. We are clearly on thier schedule...whatever but im clearly not over it. Have been enjoying my local night life and steel drums..took a break from the diving but did do some up in Speyside-it was nice and drift isnt the work, jetpak more like it..

I landed in tobago from my liat flight, small prop plane and fun skimming over the blue ocean. Tobago airport was tiny and the check in desks are outside! the immigration officer grilled me I thought and was really keen on knowing where I would be staying.

"When we go on this holiday some of you may not come back..." This was the speech I made to the troops before leaving on the tarmac. I was talking to my belongings as on such missions things get left behind or taken while on active duty.

Did the Bianca C today, thanks to another peter running aquanaughts in grenada, whisking me off to their other shop to join a group doing it after an all too common island verbal mix up. It was a good dive if frustrating, I was hoping to see the bull shark sometimes seen on the ship, and get an appreciation of its [back to the wreck]?size, it sits deep at [correct data] and at its shallowest 30 odd meters so its tough to do (for long)?without a gas blend which doesnt make you bent. So it was a 30 minute dive, and I still went into deco, and im a responsible divemaster..

Im hoping Grenada will be busier, as I arrive into st George, its not raining or grey and it looks lie a different town, It doesnt seem big enough to be a capital. So I check in to the Beach Inn at the upper end of grand Anse the tourist beach with the hotels. There are few places to eat and fewer people ! I must dive and enjoy and get out, I took a risk with Grenada but I didnt expect this. Still I am getting my break. And XL airways are being such c$^ts. I hate to use this word but in this case it fits. You see I will pass through tobago and they wont let me board the aeroplane there.

This is really my last time i'm in Carriacou ! honestly I have to leave or I never will. Well I ended up hiking around a bit again, after getting a bus to the top of the island, gun point where guns were placed to defend the island once upon a time, now its just a beautiful spot the weather was great having a breeze to cool off in. Then I walked down and into the bay to the right one sees from the point. There is this mangrove project walk which kido had done, thats an ecological organisation the ones who are occupied with saving turtles from extinction. The ones who I was waiting for the call from the previous night.

I was due to leave Carriacou today via the ferry but, I just had a hike to an eco lodge and I have a chance of camping out to try and spot some turtles laying eggs, that would be an amazing experience. So That is why I am still here. I just gotta enjoy those secluded bays and beaches a couple days more...

Carricou- Grenada is a much smaller island with not much going on at all in terms of organised tours etc, which is cool. It isnt difficult to find a dive shop even though there aren't many divers comming here, this I think has been of benefit, the larger fish are less diver wary.
I never got so close to a southern stingray before.

It was a rainy touch down in Grenada, but not to worry it is the rainy season and these showers pass. I got some cash out (always nice to see your card works) and got a cab to grande anse beach and the beach inn. I think it was a combination of the rain and my jet lag which made me decide not to stay and push on to carriacou island, which was a ferry ride away in 3 hours time, shit after such travel already maybe I should just have stayed but decided to press on. As if it was raining I wasnt going to do much anyway.
