Another day in the water. This time with camera again.
The cool things: a (quite small) school of Jackfish. I remember last December, when we were diving in Bohol (without camera 🙁 ) and we actually got to dive INTO a much larger school of Jackfish, and they started circling around us. That was probably one of the coolest things I’ve ever experienced.
There were just “a few” in this school, but it was still really nice.
A good handful of scorpionfish (I’m getting better in spotting them 🙂 ), a barracuda, a Sweetlips (Rubberlips) and a lot of other small stuff.
The scary thing: a titan triggerfish. A big one, too. Imagine I shot that picture with a 90mm macro, and it’s still that big (probably just over half a meter). And it looked like it was in a bad mood (did you see the teeth?). When they come after you and grab a hold of you, they’ll bite through your wetsuit.
But really… I can’t say anything else but every dive is an awesome experience.
I’ve got it bad… Real bad… I could do this every day for the rest of my Life 🙂

… after several days of trying to get online… The WiFi in this wilderness here is wobbly, hence the silence.
Phone network I haven’t had since I got to the island.
But… day 4 was the day I took my camera down. I went through my air in a breeze, which I guess is understandable. But I got some nice pictures. And I missed about 1.000.
