When
we were dropped down I couldn’t believe my eyes. So many fish! And such variety!
Just like being back in Thailand. We were doing a wall dive but so much was
happening on the wall, I didn’t even know where to look! If you want people to
fall in love with diving, this is where you have to bring them. This place was
gorgeous. Paul took many good photos and lovely videos, I chose a few to
demonstrate diving here:
This is a trumpet fish, long and slim. During a night dive I swam next to one, it was half as long as me!
A frogfish. It is very hard to find as it looks exactly like a piece of coral. I THINK it is facing the camera, but with frogfish you never can be sure.
After
the first dive I couldn’t wait to get back into the water again. Our second
dive was on a different dive site but at an equally amazing wall. I even found
a shady batfish but when Paul came to take a photo it hid behind a rock. It is
such a beautiful fish, I was so upset that we didn’t get a photo of it. Here's a link to a photo of one.
Some photos and a video of the second dive.
I
had high hopes for our third dive as well but it turned out to be a
disappointment. There was lots of broken coral and the whole underwater scenery
looked destroyed. I thought it’s a sign of underwater fishing but the damage
was too extensive for that. Later I was told it was the typhoon a few weeks ago
that did this. It came at low tide and destroyed everything in its wake, even
under water. Very sad. Paul did not take any photos at all.
Tomorrow
we will have a day off. We don’t have anything planned at all. It’s just weird,
what are we gonna do?!
