Our last dive of the trip was today. We did a boat dive at Forty Foot Point. We looked around the mooring line and saw a shrimp. He was in a shell. We also saw a lobster that was carrying eggs. The lobster was hiding on a wall of coral. After we came over the wall, we were at a point where the current brings a lot of food into the reef. This attracted tons of fish that swam around us.

For the drop dive we dropped at CoCo View Wall. Andy spotted a lobster all on his own. I was very proud of finding it. We burned up more air than we intended because I took my time looking for things and taking pictures. Linda moved on towards the Prince Albert wreck and I followed after her.

At the wreck, we checked to see if the turtle was on the bow. He was not. We also looked inside the ship a bit. I wanted to get a bit more adventurous with the ship than I was able to. However I was getting low on air. So we just popped in and out of a couple openings and called it good. One was horizontal and the other was vertical.

After our diving was done, we returned our gear and closed out our tabs. We picked up a bracelet with a sea turtle on it for our daughter Annabelle. We tried to get the data for our dives off of the computers. We found that we should have done that after each day of diving. It was too much to expect to do it with the few minutes we had at the time. We met our boat captain and dive master to give them their gratuity. We also left an envelope for the rest of the workers who are in a tip pool.

We did an excursion to see sloths and monkeys. The monkeys would jump on us and climb over us. We were in a large cage with them. The cage was big enough for eight people to be inside of it. We got to hold a sloth and take a picture with it. There was also a very large bird cage with macaw parrots inside it. The parrots would sit on us for a photo/video.
