Sam and her mom Norma arrived a day later. We picked them up from Basco airport, and had another photo session at the Mahatao Viewdeck before going back to the Byers house and depositing their bags at their room.
Showed Sam around. This time, the priest was in the church when we dropped by, so we had some sort of tour guide. Took more pictures near the stone houses. One of the residents saw us taking a picture of their house and we asked permission ... they actually invited Sam and I to go into their house. We declined and said we're good just taking pics outside.
Bee had already contacted Chico Domingo, the only licensed Diver in Batanes, to take her diving in Basco. Sam and I hitched a ride on Chico's truck and since the two of us had no plans of diving, he dropped us off at Vavayat bridge while he and Bee got on the boat to take them to the dive site.
While Bee and Chico were diving, Sam and went to the beach and took some pictures. Some strong waves actually had Sam rolling on the sand ... although it may not look like it in the pictures we took.
Bee's pictures of the dive below. Uncle Lou, Aunt Dolly and Aunt Veny were excited to see them - they have never dived and prior to Bee's contacting Chico, they didn't know there are people diving for recreation in Batanes.
