Monday November 13th

Today's dive sites are to the south of the island so we were picked up early with 4 others (two Belgians, two french speaking Brits) also staying at the resort. The ride down to the islands off the southern tip of Phu Quoc takes over two hours and though again it was hazy the views of Long Beach and the southern port of An Thoi were good. Long Beach is undergoing a lot of development near Duong Dong and this place seems set to grow and grow as a tourist destination.

Today's dive sites were off small islands in the An Thoi group and again both dives were shallow and long with good coral but limited visibility. It was actually the first trip of the season for Rainbow Divers to the south as the weather only moderates around mid-November.

Again the food was good and plentiful on the way home but by the time we got back to Mango Bay it was getting dark. Once again we stayed at the resort restaurant and relaxed over a late dinner (late for here: 8pm!) before sitting out to watch the clear skies for a few Leonid meteors.
