One of the things you can do at the resort, is go and play beach volleyball. There's always a crowd ready to accept another player.
You can make arrangements to rent a 4-wheel All-terrain vehicle and go bombing down the beach or into town. We had fun with one of these machines.
Here's Karen sitting on the ATV we rented. This picture is taken down around that penninsula you saw earlier.
We went down the coastline to Casa Coson where we had our New Year's Eve party. I wanted a drink and some pictures.
This is looking out from the back of Casa Coson. Their walk to the beache is even shorter than back at the resort. They sure do have a nice little nook.
Here's some more forgotten glass bottles. I hadn't seen these things for years.
If you want to go diving, and you're not already certified, then you start off taking a lesson in the pool.
Here's a group practicing with Gerrard, the local Sunquest representative / dive shop owner. Yeah! I passed, so it's off to open water.
All geared up and ready to jump off the diving boat. We're about to go for a 40-minute dive around a miniature island. There are lots of small caves to see down here.
Going diving was actually a lot easier than I had expected. The worst trouble I had was keeping the mask from fogging up, and that wasn't much trouble at all.
On our way down into the water. I saw caves, colourful tropical fish, seashells, jellyfish, and lots of other sea-life. It was simply fascinating.
Some of the others that came on the boat chose to go snorkelling instead. They're going for a surface-swim around this little island where I'm currently diving underneath.
Back to the boat when the air runs low in the tanks. I had a lot of fun on my first open-water dive. I went out for two more dives the very next day and saw a sunken boat, and a coral reef.
