In general we had good weather and good visibility. Plankton came up now and then, hence we were able to spot some WHALE SHARKS during the first half of the month.

Night Dive at Joker

We had beautiful calm seas during much of the month, perfect for night diving. Creatures that are rarely seen during daytime come out at night. Far left a Decorator Crab, left a Spanish Dancer, and a tiny Pufferfish spending the night on sponge covered Honeycomb Oyster.

Shark Bank

This site has a beautiful underwater landscape and always offers a rich variety in fish, and the season for octopus has just started. The big Marbled Stingrays could also be seen, as well as the resident Eagle Rays and Barracuda's. When taking a closer look Stonefish and Scorpion Fish can be found, but also the Devil Scorpion Fish as can be seen on the picture far right. But also Lobsters where there, as well as the tiny Thorny Boxfish which can only be found on rocky dive sites.

Sunset Rocks,

The Peppered Moray Eels were incredible, everywhere they were popping their heads out. Not only their heads but their whole body was often visible. There was a bunch of them playing around a Leaf Fish, which can be seen on the picture far left. We also saw a huge big Manta Ray during one of the dives we made here.

Our first dive was at Grand Barbe where we had excellent visibility and very little current. There were many Lionfish , a big Giant Moray, many Lobsters, a marbled Stingray and two Eagle Rays, around the beautiful encrusted rocks at the corner. Two small barracuda's and many sweetlips were also there, as well as some Humphead Parrotfish and some juvenile saddleback groupers.

Also at Lascars we had good visibility and little current, The dive site has little coral growth but a beautiful granite landscape full of fish. There was a White Tip Reef Shark in the distance, a Marbled Stingray, and 2 Hawksbill Turtles. Under rocks are spots where Lobsters are gathering by the dozens, and Big Saddleback Groupers like to hang out there, as well as the black snappers and some Batfish.

The Island is wild and beautiful. When there is no surf at all we like to land at Anse Mondon, but mostly we land on the Anse La Passe. From there you can walk to the planters house which can be seen on the right picture. But also you can walk towards Anse Cemitere and visit the impressive but neglected Mausoleum where also Giant Tortoises walk around free.

We had quite good visibility here most of the dives and interesting things to see. A white Leaf Fish was sitting in plain view during one of the dives, and on a couple of others we saw Lobsters in the 5th coral hill. Hawksbill Turtles, and Eagle Rays, but also Flag Tail Stingrays could be seen looking for food in the sand.
