Nice 500 m long shallow reef at magawish hotel

Great cliff straight out from Miniloc. Saw baracuda school and squid eggs. dark, but warm water. Rebecca was too sick to go.

Miniloc Island.

Most everyone saw a turtle except me. Also needle fish, Sting ray, Lion Fish, Clown fish, coral, nice wall. Very easy dive.

Blue Spotted Stingray, Sea Cabbage, clown fish, lots of camoflauge, 2 scorpian fish, school of yellow fish that have existed since resort opened. Moray eel, blue ribbon eel (with yellow tip)

Reef dive at end of pier to play with equipment. Saw “Sweet” of Sweet, And, Sour – the three Groupers. also: clown fish, baracuda, purple starfish

A lot of broken coral. Yellow striped fish in large school flashing their undersides as they swept across the bottom in sequence; evident in a few locations. large shovel nose ray, white with purplish splodges.

1. Exam dive – A whole lot of us were there and alot of excercise testings were done. All went well.

2. Sightings – 3 sting rays (1 medium, 1 small ans 1 huge one in sand), Close encounter with a Leopard morray, Big school of yellow snapper, around 4 to 5 turtles.

3. Experience – most memorable because of the leopard morray. He came out of nowhere and swam straight upto me coz I happened to be at the front of the group. Then stayed stationary and gawked at me for around 10 seconds. then swam up behind me, rubbed against my thigh and fins and checked out the rest of the group. What an experience.

1. On descent – Big current on surface, had to hold onto rope before descent, good descent.

2. Actual Dive – Initially finned against current for around 20 mins, on way back swam with the current and ended up 3 km away from where we started.

3. Sightings – Thorny Sea Cucumber, Large Hawksbill turtle, many other turtles swimming, tons of glass fish, fuselia, yellow and grey snapper, Huge Napolean Wrasse, Stone fish sitting on a rock, white fin shark 5′ long, lots of soft coral.

4. Experience – Superb dive, probably the best of the lot. Water was too good, huge gang around 10 of us, great fun
