L'ilot: Visibility okay mostly but murky at some spots, and the current was often quite strong. Hawksbill turtles were there several times, a giant moray was hanging out at a different spot than usual. We saw humphead parrot fish on several occasions. And white tip reef sharks, swimming around and under rocks. |
 |
Sunset Rocks: Visibility not so good but lot's to see which made the dives here very nice. Hawksbill turtles, many lionfish, scorpion fish, devil scorpion fish, moray eels, angelfish, leaf fish, schooling trevally's were to be seen on the dives we made here. There were lobsters under the rocks and many cornet fish hovering above the rocks, schooling sergeant majors came down to the rocks every now and then. And "small fry" again covers some rock areas where the jewel groupers like to hang around. |

Aquarium: At the beginning of the month the surface was green but after the first 2 meters the water was clear. All the murky fresh water that came from the mountains ran into sea and was still floating on top of the sea water. We had a nice dive with much fish. A fat stone fish was sitting under a coral head. During one of the dives we saw a lobster eating a snail from a shell and during another dive with saw the hawksbill turtle who comes around often. This time she was particularly funny. First she was hovering with her fins tucked underneath her above the coral, later she went up to each of us and had a good look, allowed us to stroke her and after a long while she went away. |

Shark Bank: Good visibility, strong current. WHALE SHARKS are there, we saw several of them before we went into the water. During the dive we saw an octopus, fantasea stingray, two huge big marbled stingrays and a smaller one. We also saw a flatback turtle which is very uncommon, and a humphead parrotfish. And finally we saw a whale shark swimming away from us then another one that came right towards us, a very big one. Later during the dive we saw another one playing in the bubbles of another group of divers and then another one came from behind us just before we surfaced. We made another dive there on the same day and again saw the whale sharks and everything else. |
 |
Mammelles Rocks: Bad visibility especially on the south side. A lot of "small fry" around the rocks, all these tiny fish blocked the view in between and around the rocks. We had to fan them away to see a stingray and a lobster. We saw DOLPHINS when we were still in the water after the dive, and had a look at a family with a baby above and under water! |
