With just one more day to dive with my new found friends at Just Diving I headed on a the boat with a couple of Germans from Munich and a French guy called Alexander who would ultimately be my buddy for the day.
As always I chatted beforehand to establish his experience. He lived near Calais in France and was a fairly regular drysuit diver. That immediately eased my fears because, as we all know, anyone who learns to dive in cold water finds the warm stuff easy in almost all conditions.
The day was mostly a check dive for the German couple so the sites were to be kept nice and fluffy. We dived two reefs - Shamenta and Tikoraye. Both were fairly pleasant providing a nice assortment of reef fish, nudibranchs, amd as Alexander would proclaim as we surfaced from the second dive "en Fest de Murene".
Now, my French isn't great, but even I could translate his proclamation as a festival of moray eels. Though to say that, was little bit of a disservice to a dive that also had Garden and Ribbon eels on show too. Not to mention a number of stone, lion and scorpion fish.
Two nice dives and a great way to end my time diving in Mauritius - especially when Jean spotted two great nudibranchs.
