Espiritu Santo - Vanuatu, 16 September to 1 October 2007.
Yes, it was time for me to go back to dive the S.S. President Coolidge - again. And since Prodive Brisbane were organising the trip, I thought "Yeah, why not?"
John and Kate were the tour leaders and Helen, Melinda, Brett, Rob and myself went. Also, John and Kate's 2 daughters, Abby and Zoe came along. Once we got to Santo, we checked into the Coral Quays Fish and Dive Resort. On the Monday, Gary from Allan Powers Dive Tours came around to check our certification cards and to go for our first dive.
The dive that I did on this trip were as follows (only lines with links have photos of the dives):
17/9 Promenade 37m 45min

On the 24th, John, Kate, Abby, Zoe, Melinda, Helen, Brett and Rob headed back to Australia. I moved up to the Deco Stop Lodge for another week. I also started diving with Justin from Deep here in Brisbane. I also did not take my camera as much as I did earlier.

25 dives in 13 days. No wonder I'm exhausted. I have a text file here with just the dive details.
On this trip, I met quite a few people. I have a few pictures of them here.
As always, I had a fantastic trip. MANY more photos than I have put up here. Just too tired to put them all up.
Until my next trip. Tanku Tumas.
