We sped out on reef gliders skiff to hole in the wall, the sun was glaring warming me up. This is good, I am tired from my morning run and the water looked good.

We drop in on the sand patch and descend toward the "hole" via the chute. The drop off just keeps going, through the hole and down down down .Sufficiently narced at 100 ft I levelled off with the 3 others. I knew I was narked because I was certain the way forward was for me to design ad sell funny t'shirts. The world was good.

Turning left after a short "bottom time" we progressed back up the other chute. Then we headed over to the caves. The caves were full of schooling silver fish, I forget what they call them. There are many interesting looking side caves and to explore these would be very interesting indeed. The caves are not deep. I wasn't weighted quite enough and was breathing with the bottom half of my lung. There was a massive surge the whole dive above 20 ft and the swim throughs were not as accurate as they normally would be. There were amazing blues and turquoise colours of one open cave.

To note only 3 scorpion fish and a big lobster were spotted.

A nice last dive before flying out tommorow. I had cheated the chamber one more time.

I just had to share this with all you special people because I've spent so many countless hours gazing out into the blue to find the one big bastard that has eluded me on almost 2000 Roatan dives.
But finally, on March 20th 2007 with 3 other guys and some nitrox, on the southside of the point where the wall starts at 100ft I catch a glimpse of something big and silvery out in the blue, yep, my first hammerhead!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I like the free swimming nature captured in this whale shark, also good sized and seemingly un-harassed.
