- August 2005
- The weather in
general was quite windy, but warm and sunny, the ocean temperature still
25
degrees Celsius. And the visibility overall was not very good. But
we had some literally GREAT DIVING. There was loads of
plankton in the water, and that particularly on the surface. A good
thing as we then saw many WHALE SHARKS! These gentile giants
stayed around for weeks and we saw them during our dives or after
the dives on the surface when we snorkeled with them. Often there
were several of these big girls in the water, and we often had long
and real close encounters with them.

- Light House
- Because of the Whale
Sharks we made many of our dives at this dive site. The visibility
was often not good, but the dives were great. Big schools of the Big
Eye Trevally were there, Humphead Parrotfish, many stingrays,
and Octopus were to be seen during the dives. But also a
number of green Leaf Fishes were there, Great Moray Eels, and lot's
of Lion Fish.

- BBQ at Anse
du Riz in Bay Ternay
- The BBQ trips to
Bay Ternay Marine Park were great too. At one of our trips we
encountered extremely low tide in the inland pool. We had never
seen it that low before, you could walk al the way through to
the stream where the mangroves grow and the fishes could be seen
swimming in between their roots.

- Aquarium
- Although the ocean
looked like a plankton soup, the visibility was okay during most of
our dives here,
- and we certainly had good sightings. During one of
the dives the Hawksbill was there in her usual spot,
- and she stayed
around for a while, we could also stroke her. There was also a Feathertail Stingray,
- and a Devil Scorpion Fish. During another dive
a baby Stingray was resting at the place where we
- usually see some
lobsters. And the White Leaf Fish was there sitting in it's usual spot.

- Fisherman's Cove
Reef
- We had real nice
dives here with Green Turtles and lot's of
reef fishes, Spiny Lobsters in between healthy corals. We also had
many schooling fusiliers, and in the sandy area the big Queen Helmets
as always.
