unable to access coral growth area-viz very bad. Saw cormaran (type of duck) at 12 meters. Duck dove with us for extended period of time (20 mins) we assume thinking we would lead it to fish. Underwater did not mind physical contact. Swam between our legs etc. eating fish off man made reef. 1st time this has ever happened!!!!

Buddying dissertation student Carolyn, amazing site, two bombfished spots on reef, hawksbill turtle, spectacular shoals of yellow-tailed fusiliers, triggers. Shoal of barracuda (20) about 20 metres from reef crest, few large pufferfish and 2m long banded sea krait – longest i’ve seen in indonesia so far. gorgeous pair of sweetlips hiding in overhang, dive was a circuit round two spurs, one amazing patch of Galaxea measured 15 x 21 metres and high coral cover throughout with an unusually large amount of Mycedium elephantotus and Montipora.

Great dive! The island is getting better and better as a photo site.

Lots of octopus, scorpaena scrofa, epinephelus marginatus, conger, muraena, etc.

Nice but small green sea turtle near end of jetty. A sea turtle was reported in this area about a month ago. Lots of sand dollars washed up from the current. This is the spot where the tourist boats bring the hords of tourists to snorkle. A can of easy cheese brought in several dozen 2-pound cat fish. Lots of warse. Many schools of small fish and a few larger tuna feeding on them. Considering the traffic, this is a very healthy dive site. Nice, fairly easy dive if you catch it within 1 hour of the high or low tide.

2 dive sites combined – went from 26m up to 12 m after 20 minutes hence the long dive time.

Amazing dive as so much life. Saw: marbled torpedo ray, leopard whip ray, large shoal barracuda, remora, mating cuttle fish, masked porcupine fish, turtles and all the usual large shoals and pretty fish.

Saw schools of Pompano they came within touching distance–really beautiful fish–All saw school of jacks–they were feeding on small schools of fry.

Very poor weather but tranquil and beautiful below. A remora attached itself to me for half the dive. Was terrified as I didn’t know what it was! Saw the biggest moral and turtle. Two level dive over to Shark Island at 5-12 metres.
