Diving Isla Catalina

So, finally today was time to dive again! The target is the Isla Catalina, around 45 min of navigation from Tamarindo. It is our first dive in this side of the pacific so we're exited about maybe seeing mantas, eagle rays and sharks...
During the boat ride we see couple of Green Turtles couples having their private businesses and enjoy the beautiful coastline. Once at the dive site we gear up and jump in the water. As soon as we drop down Cedric points out an eagle ray that I miss... uff! but no worry, many more will pass by. As well we see some nurse and white tip reef sharks.
The second dive is halfway home and for the first half nothing spectacular, but then we saw two octopuses and more spotted eagle rays. cool! So, no mantas but very very cool eagle rays. The evening, as crowning of a cool day we decide to go for a good dinner, i'm craving for sushi since I left Zurich and wonder what!? We find an all-you-can-eat sushi place that for 15 U$ serves me a plate with 46 pieces of sushi and after that asks me if I wanted more... hard decision but I already forced me with the last 16 pieces so I kindly deny ;-)
Cheers, Marco
