Hi
So day two:

Slept in late and then went down to get our weights and do a check out dive. Did a dive on Bari Reef which is always great. Saw a very large grouper and two tarpon. After the dive my husband took my daughter across the street for some ice cream. My daughter and I then went for a snorkel to the reef balls between Sand dollar and Buddy Dive. Was surprised there was very little fish life around the reef balls. We did see a very large at least 4ft long Barracuda. the largest I have ever seen. We then picked up pizza at the place close by, forgot the name its on the road back toward the airport. Great pizza as always. Sat on the balcony, watched the sunset and had great pizza.

I asked a gentleman from the Reef Ball Foundation (Todd Barber) about the ones at Bari and he said that they were textured to smoothly so the Corals were not attaching and growing like they should therefore not attracting as much other types of marine life as reef balls typically do. He also stressed that these were built locally and not by the Reef Ball foundation. I guess he was worried about their reputation.
