Penultimate days diving here at Fishermen’s Cove.
Here is a map of where we are.
Interesting fact…
The Philippines has 126 different languages and those languages have different accents on different islands. Without English they wouldn’t be able to talk to others in different parts of the country!
Anyway, yesterday Richard got his head burnt, so today lashings of suncream, and a hat.
On the boat before 8.30 for the first dive of the day which was Ernie’s Cave.
Went to see the cave. Not the biggest cave, in fact more of a ridge. It was filled with hatchet fish and Joseph, our guide, spotted Ernie, the grouper.
Also saw, dragon shrimp, various nudies and the current fish.
Pretty wall/slope with pretty coral garden at the top
Second dive, Dungong Wall, now known as the wall of Korean divers.
Did this site again as Barry missed it when he was unwell.
Unfortunately there were divers everywhere! Absolutely, hoards of them!!
Briefly saw the back of a seahorse’s head.
Beautiful coral garden at the top and no divers.
Richard found some treasure. a very nice podger!
When we got back, the room was in the process of being cleaned. So we had a swim and a quick lay in sun.
Lunch was a seafood kebab, savory rice and lettuce. Excellent.
Back out in the boat at 2.30, to the dive site, Secret Bay.
Bit embarrassing… Richard and I tried to put the wrong wet suits on!!
This was a better dive than when we did this site before.
Sandy bottom.
We saw lots.
Small red frogfish
monster nudis
tiny cuttlefish
Two beautiful risbecia both with large emperor shrimps
Tonight’s dinner might not have been to everyone’s taste.
A starter of squid ink pasta with calamari.
Followed by carpatchio of fish with salad.
We watched a couple of fireflies at dinner. Something that we had not experienced before this holiday.
Here is a shot of the jetty at night.
