Good morning. We spent yesterday on the north side of Tutuila for our first day of dives on that side. I can't say that the underwater scenery was spectacular. There was a large amount of sedimentation and definite reminders of the tsunami. There were several large tree trunks and branches at our last site, which is an unusual finding. But the view from on top of the water was beautiful. The American Samoa Islands are volcanic in nature and we ate lunch next to a volcanic cliff covered in lush jungle foliage. There was an abandoned house on a beach next to the cliff and at the back of a small bay. It would have been a perfect Robinson Crusoe house, except maybe a bit too modern. I couldn't even make out a road that might have led to it. So except for the threat of tsunamis and cyclones, it would be a wonderful place to stay. Maybe it should have been built on top of the cliff instead of next to it.
We are off today for more north shore diving. I hope this finds you well and warm.
Take care,
Cristi
