Costa rica day three: Argentina point



Back to Tortuga on the fifth dive so far; starfish, trumpet fish, popeye fish and stingray. Just gorgeous and the photographs speak for themselves.

The second dive of the day takes in Argentina point, where a choppy surface swim takes us over to another boat's anchor line for a desecnt down to about 1o metres, where we explore the reef. Visibility is much improved here - it changes hour to hour and site to site - and here we are rewarded with three stingrays in a group and a large spotted eagle ray.

There's only the three of us today so I buddied the Costa Rican divemaster Rafa; the whole dive became a master class in buoyancy skills as I attempt to keep up with him as he swims over the reef peering into all the nooks and crannies for moray eels, octopus and scorpion fish. But I've only got eyes for the eagle rays today. Absolutely beautiful.
