Thursday dawns - and I get myself lined up for some diving Friday, Sat and Sunday. The very lovely Simon at Utila dive centre has recommended I have a few hours one on one tuition to get myself back in diving mode. Based on the instructors I saw there this morning - I'm very very happy to have a bit of intensive coaching ;-)
We then head off to Water Quay - a tiny uninhabited island about an hour from the mainland. We hire a captain we meet in the street ( boding well) and he comes to pick us up from our pier. The boat when it arrives is pretty basic - no sign of a life jacket. An hour later we arrive at the Caye, and it is bloody spectacular. Completely gorgeous.
Crystal clear water, pelicans diving into the water to catch fish, coconut trees. Heaven.
I'm not sure who to blame on the red back I seem to have now - either simon the Scottish divemaster who may have entered my thoughts distracting me that afternoon, or the island itself, specifically my own little peninsula. I'll go with the island - it was too beautiful not to lie on the White sand, with the water at my feet. Damn you water Caye.
