9-00am down to the marina to pick dive boat Yukon Charters and get kitted out .bit of a hiccup in getting gear for Michelin man Phileas but managed with a 3mm wet suit (,may be a bit cold )everyone else in 7mm wet suits or dry suits but it was that or nothing so went for it.

9-30 am we set off for the PK Islands 1 hour to the dive sites ,All but one of the divers very experience over 200 dives each so Phileas the novice ,they very much into photography.

1st dive was in the” RICK RICKO” cave a volcanic bubble created during the eruption millions of years ago. .It’s the largest sea cave in the world that has been surveyed, a bit mysterious and dark but interesting.
The PK Islands are the remnants of an eroded volcano from millions of years ago. the 2nd dive was in the open sea saw a great variety of fish and moray eels the other divers were going down to 35metres looking for that perfect photo.
On the return journey down came the rain with heavy skies
Having given the big game fishing the miss decided to make towards 90 mile beach
