Head back to Coffee Kong for breakfast before heading to the marina to get on the boat since we know what to look for now. Had a larger group on the boat with us today. Go to the first dive which is a battle boat of some sorts as there were some big guns and a plane that we swam by. Strong currents today which made some navigating a little rough and caused a bit of exertion.

Second dive explored an oil tanker where got stuck/collided with some of the coral/metal swimming through small openings and due to the exertion got really low on my oxygen (down to about 20 bar by the end of the dive). 3rd dive is a drift dive to use the current to our advantage in shallower depths along the reef. Visibility wasnt that great and my mask kept falling off and filling with water which caused me to lose buoyancy and use a lot of my air just trying to get back to normal (had to end this dive early because of me :( ). While going through these issues, I lose my group and accidentally join a different group which isnt the end of the world but definitely not ideal as using the buddy system and cant easily tell your group you are ok (you are responsible for your and your buddy's safety). Go up and get on the boat as we collect all the groups. As we are heading back into town, I slip navigating on the rocking boat and hurt my toe which starts to bleed as it lifted the nail. Get back to hostel and chill for the night as it was a rough day for me and wasnt feeling good. I cancel my dives for the next day as to allow my body to rest and recover.
