Logged Dive 1111, "Little Bay", Dutch Saint Maarten Island. The original scheduled dive with Blue Bubbles Dive Shop in Phillipsburg is canceled, the boat captain bent the prop shaft by wrapping the anchor line into the prop and around the shaft. No other boat available. The shop recommends I try Aqua-Maniac at Little Bay. Kathy and I grab a cab and in no time we are through the gated resort and at the Dive Shop. My Dive Log and Dive Certs. get me what I need, a tank. Without my Dive Log I would have had to rent a dive instructor as a chaperone. I sign a release and I’m on my way. The area is shallow, however, there are submerged features that provide hideouts for a fair amount of sealife. I play "Peek-a-Boo" with a octopus. Again I run into Lionfish, I attempt to bury it in a hole with sand and rocks. The dive lasted 74 min.
