A Dive on Wimbi Reef

Life here can be a bit tough, especially when you live off the generosity of others, donations and gifts, and no fixed income! So justifying treating myself to a little luxury like chocolate or apple pie, or some meat can be hard - so a SCUBA dive for $50 was totally out the question, even though I have semi qualified (I still need to do the Open Water Course, I have the Resort Certificate) and I live at one of the most beautiful reefs in the world, the Wimbi Reef!

Charles, one pastor that was in Malawi with us said he wanted to treat me to a dive, and he would pay!!! That was just brilliant!

Saturday morning dawned and I had thought he had forgotten, but then I got a phone call telling me to be ready in an hour!
The dive was fantastic, we did the whole fall over backwards out the boat thing - the fish and the reef was stunning, so tranquil, so many bright vibrant colors! To think that this was the cheap dive – there are other even bigger more stunning dive sites! We were down there for 50mins and it was easily the best 50mins of my time in Pemba!!!
