It was an early start, picked up at 08.20 am, (well that was early after Toad night !! ), we were taken down to the marina where we boarded our boat, 'Calypso', (bubbles), 48 not including the crew were on board. Off we went and an hour and a half later we arrived at 'Opal Reef', we were given sting suits and I must say 'ladies' they do wonders for tummies !! I think I had a flat one !!
