When Shilpin writes ‘very very clear,’ we know it’s going to be very very clear. I couldn’t suppress my excitement as I was wearing my fins and could see the sand so clearly! On the way up, my mind was still not able to grasp why it was being able to see the bottom. I had gotten too used to seeing a murky nothingness all through until you almost bumped into a pillar or a jellyfish.

We hurried and got into the water and found out the water was tremendously clear. As good or better than the first day since the green colour caused by the Pedinomonas noctiluca was completely gone and the water was blue.

It wasn’t as clear as the previous dive but the visibility was by no means poor. Although it was a day’s difference there was a huge change at the pier. There were no barracuda in sight in the center portion of the pier unfortunately but there was a huge school of catfish instead.

One day, Shilpin asked me in class why don’t I go for a trip in Rameswaram. Ameya and I got excited and the class time was spent in planning my holiday trip. And here I was, diving in Rameswaram on the 1st of December.

We came back to the same spot the next day. This time I waited until the sun was nicely up and shining bright. Until then I was picking up shells on the shore. When I was doing that, I walked along the shore and a few meters to the north of yesterday’s entry point, I found more corals and shells in the sand. I then thought this side was probably a better area to dive than yesterday’s.

The temple adventure guys were taking out the big boat today so we did a giant stride entry from the platform at the back of the boat. While I waited for Amrita to come near the drift-line (line that you can pull if you drift), I saw a 30cm funny-looking filefish from the surface at around 6m near 1 of the lines going down.

This time I saw 4 Aluterus scriptus at around 6m near the line! They were pecking at a single jellyfish from all 4 sides forming a cross. They were all around 30cm big.
