A little bit of exploring after our dives and lab work

After our two morning dives and much of the afternoon taken to process the tiles we collected, there was a little bit of time before our 6:30 pm dinner to explore. Ana, Tim, and I took one of the lagoon boats to check out the route to Eastern Island.

Getting to Eastern Island is a bit of a challenge since one has to go through a break in the causeway built by the military. The water is very shallow, and there are strong currents as the water moves from one lagoon to the other. You have to raise the engine a couple notches before motoring through the gap.

Eastern Island is on the right
