- Twin Barges
- During one of our
dives here we were lucky to have the best visibility you could wish,
and the next day it was gone already. We always had nice dives here
with Leaf Fishes, Batfish hovering above the wreck or laying on the
sand besides the wreck, Sweet Lips, Lionfish and Scorpion Fish. And
on one occasion we also saw two Flying Gurnards, a couple, just
laying on the sand in between the two wrecks. Unfortunately they
were there only once, during our following dives we could not find
them anymore.

- Light House
- Even though the
Whale Sharks were not around anymore we still had some pretty good
dives here. The were some Giant Morays, Leaf Fish, a huge big Stone
Fish, Crocodile Fish, some baby Flounders, Octopus and often we saw
Stingray. But also there were big schools of fish, Sergeant Majors
like on the picture below often greeted us as soon as we jumped into
the water. And the schooling Mackerel and fusiliers were often there
in big numbers as well as the Big Eye Jacks.

September 2005
- The weather in
general was quite windy, but warm and sunny, the ocean temperature
went up to 27 degrees Celsius right at the beginning of the
month.
- Dredger Wreck
- We had some really good dives there with
always loads of fish around the wreck. And a few remoras were still
sticking around, the ones who lost their host, probably a whale
shark who were here just a few weeks earlier. There was also a nurse
shark once, and some stingrays. A pair of Ghost Pipe Fish have made
the wreck their home and can always be seen around.

Night Dive at
Aquarium & Sunset Rocks
- Night dives are
always special but these ones that we did were terrific. At Sunset
Rocks we encountered big Mappa Pufferfish, and Humphead Parrot Fish
who were not sleeping yet, but did appear very sleepy. There were
also Squid, Moray Eels, Crabs and some Spanish Dancers. The leaf
fishes were still sitting in their usual beautiful and colorful
spot.
- At Aquarium we saw
two very big male Hawksbill turtles sleeping, there were loads of
Lobsters around, if you would count them the figure would come to
around fifty if not more. There were also some Squid, sleeping
parrotfish, and as always on a night dive moray eels, and crabs
looking for something to eat.

- Fisherman's
Cove Reef
- An interesting
dive site with a reef with excellent coral growth and many reef
fishes to be seen. The coral hill is the best but the reef also
has some very interesting spots were almost always lobster can
be seen. Often we saw Octopus and on the sand there were the
huge shells of the Queen Helmets. There were also Nudibranches
like the Chromodoris Reticulata below.
