Wake up early to do some diving and head to Devocean to try their vaunted breakfast which was delicious but really expensive (which is to be expected) compared to other food places on the island (caters to tourist and divers not locals). Hang at the dive shop until the boat pulls in to take us to Gato island. We do 2 dives in the area. See some sharks chilling in some caves, some huge beautiful starfish, insanely pretty and somewhat unique coral, a few seahorses, cuttlefish, frog fish, and a giant sea snake swam right next to Jeff and I which was pretty cool. Head up to the boat for some lunch then go back down and dive in a cave where we see a bunch of lobster, some crabs running around, some random animals with these glossy beautiful shells and then some cuttlefish eggs near the end of our dive.

| Colors are our friends... love how the clouds help accentuate them |
Get back to the boat, and cruise on back to the dive shop. Go to hostel to drop stuff off and regroup before going to the little market next to the hostel and get a nice cheap dinner. After eating, grab our gear and head back to the shop to do our night dive. Saw a gorgeous sunset on our way out and then head down to start the dive as it gets dark. See a load of octopuses ranging from tiny to pretty large, some crabs, squid, and these awesome urchins that have these cool neon colors and patterns on them which is amazing in the dark as it glows with the lights. Once we get back on the boat, we head back to the island, shower, and go to bed early as we have to wake up before dawn to get on the boat for our dives the next day.
