I had three days of diving in Lagos. Since it was low season, I pretty much got a personal tour. The first day there were two other guys who signed up last minute. (Read about John and I going to a beach in this post) the second day it was just me with the owner of the shop (Nuno) but a guide from another shop joined on the boat with his customers. The third day it was just me, Nuno, and another divemaster who worked at the shop during the summer, but was just along for fun that day.
From the boat we had beautiful views of the cliffs I had hiked a couple days earlier.
Underwater, the diving wasn't too interesting the first day. Not much in the way of a reef, just worn down limestone. Some fish, but I wouldn't go back specifically. The second two days we dove three wrecks that had been sunk to make artificial reefs, and there were great.
Underwater photography is hard and for the most part unsuccessful (for me at least) but I've got some highlights for your viewing pleasure.

| This boat was still upright, so we started the dive by swimming along the top deck towards the stern. |
 |
| One of my favorite shots, we swam through one of the compartments and came out right behind the steering wheel. |

| Remnants of a watchtower. |

| When you bust open a mussel underwater, it becomes a fish feeding frenzy. |
It was fun diving, though I was definitely cold each time. I love wrecks in general, and these were excellent ones. I'd go again sometime.
