A lousy start, when a dummy israeli divebuddy negleted everything the divemaster had told him. When others went down, he stayed up. When others inspected the wall, he was taken by current and had to be rescued from the blue. When others stayed still, he went down. Only after being able to join another group (still from the same boat of course) started to enjoy the dive. First strong current, but then a nice corally aquarium full of life, towards the Cathedral called divesite.
An aquarium with all kind of Anthias, Rockcods Groupers (serraidae family), Scorpion fishes (scorpaenidae family), Squirrel fishes (holocentridae family), Parrotfish (scaridae family), Wrasse (labridae family), Damsel fishes (pomacentridae family) and Anemone fishes (amphiprioninae subfamily). Two turtles, couple of medusas, a couple of barracudas OR spikemouths.
End part of the dive brings the memories from the Mualbual dives in 2006, such rich was the marine life. And again the nudey branches (didnt see them in Mexico, Belize, or Costa Brava) are back in the pictre, as well as the sea cucumbers, spaghetti like seaworms, and zillions of small aquarium fish (purple queens).
Divesuit 1 mm "pyjama" long, 6kg weight, max depth 25m, divetime 55min, visibility 25m
Nice to be back in the Philippines!
