What we eat: chips, chocolate, cookies, and cheese (3 kinds! shredded, cubed, and stringed); the 4 Cs of Aquarius. To balance our diets, in an effort to keep our hair and our teeth just a little bit longer (although, look closely at some of the profile pictures), we supplement our diet with anything microwavable or re-hydratable (yum). This makes for some great snacking, and some not so great meal times, as you could well imagine. My take home tip of the day: dehydrated scrambled eggs and bacon is best used directly as fish food. Really just skip the more common, intestinal track all together. Trust me.

We're getting closer; the experiment is moving to the next level, it's almost complete, can we do it? The next few days are critical. I have faith that a good plan will see us through. Mark Hayism #259: "A plan is something that will tell you that you can't get done what you want to get done in the time you have to get it done; best to just get it done." I knew I'd learn a lot on this mission. My fingers are crossed.

Another interesting night dive adventure. It started to rain jellyfish. Moon-jellies all around. Their presence, or more accurately, the small fish that live amongst the jellyfish tentacles, sent the surrounding reef fish into a feeding frenzy. Up off the bottom they'd dart to feast on the passing fillet'o fish. In front of us a gigantic cauliflower jellyfish exploded onto the reef, pummeled by the current. The swarming reef fish attract the barracudas. Through our proximity, the newly evicted small fish of the tragic jelly's tentacles race to us for safe haven. For the entire drift dive back to Aquarius we have hundreds of tiny fish swarming our heads. The things we see. Surreal.
