ダイビングショップ巡り→海で泳ぐ

 
4月9日

6時半に起きる、地面が砂浜の砂のためかテントにも関わらずわりと快適に寝ることができた。

ダイビングの値段が安い会社を探すために何件かのダイブショップをあたってみたが、昨夜ファティマで聞いた値段が一番安かったので、ファティマに戻りダイビングを申し込むと「昨日の値段は間違いでそのツアーは今流行っていないとオーナーが言い始めたんだ・・・」とのこと。

いや、昨日電話で確認してもらって大丈夫だというから宿泊も決めたのに、それを突然間違いだったなんて納得できないので直接交渉しに行くことに。しかし汗だくになっていたので交渉の前に海でひと泳ぎ。

TOFOの海はかなり波が強く泳ぐにはあまりむいていないようだ。

PILIPILIDIVER'Sに直接行き交渉した結果、最終的には元々提示された安い値段で参加できることになったのだが、そこに至る過程で、この会社では楽しくダイビングができないだろうな・・・という空気を感じたので（横柄な言葉遣い、従業員に対する邪険な扱い等）結局断り、宿の近くのTOFO　DIVER'Sに行き申し込む。

 ここのオーナーのジョンは人柄も良く、従業員からも慕われているようなので。

夕方、僕は海で再び泳ぎ、アサはその間ひたすら日記を書く。

晩御飯は市場で買った野菜で大蒜＆トマト＆玉ねぎのパスタ。

食後はFATIMAのレストランでのんびりくつろぎながら日記を書く。

I woke up at6:30.

I could sleep well.last night was not so hot and sand's ground is very comfortable for sleeping.

We had break fast at 7;15,just bread and avocado as usual...

After break first we went out for seeking good value diving center.

Last night we've already checked Fatima's price,was 4900m for 3dive,3night accommodation(camp site)and snorkel.I felt it is good price,but we'd like to know other shop as well.

First we visited other guest house,where was recommended by lonely planet.but actually was little expensive(especially accommodation)so we checked couple of other shop,but they also bit expensive,so we decided to join Fatima's.

After went back to Fatima,we applied,but worker said"sorry last night's price was mistake,,,,boss said No!!"

We couldn't take it that answer because when we asked last night,worker said"I want confirm to boss"and then he called and then he said "Boss said 490Om Ok"

We decided to go his office directly.

But before that I swam in the sea,because very hot!!

Sea was beautiful but today ,wind and wave was too strong,so I couldn't swam much.

Then we visited "PELI PELI Diver"to have conversation.First he said just "No"

So I explained,then he gave us good price but still more expensive than last night,,,,so we felt that we can't trust this company(PELI PELI Diver's).

We decided to join other company(Tofo diver's)

Because Tofo diver's gave us good price&good feeling.

Tomorrow we will take a check dive because we haven't dived for one and half year.

After tomorrow we will dive at Manta leaf.(today some diver saw manta's!!)

After we decided,went back Fatima,then I swam(Asami was writing dialy)

At 16:00 we went out for shopping and bought some vegetable for tonight.

Tonight we cooked tomato,onion,and girlic pasta.

We ate dinner at 17:30.because there were so many people last night.

Pasta was very tasty,after dinner we wrote a diary at Fatima's restaurant.
