Ant Atoll

Nic and I headed over to Ant Atoll after diving P-Pass first thing on Saturday morning. We tied the boat up to a log on the beach and went straight out for a snorkle on a little reef about 50m off of the beach.

Saw this little beauty on the way out. A trigger fish I think.

Came across a coconut tree that had been uprooted and is now home to hundreds of colourful fish.

Once again there were beautiful clams all over the reef.


Some leafy critter thing that closes up to a single little tube if you get too close.

As you can see you don't have to duck-dive down too far to get a good look.

Fish everywhere.

Saw this little coral trout on the snorkel back into the shore.


By the time I got back to the boat for some lunch Nic had already started. Lunch, Nic, I said lunch.

After a quick feed we walked up the beach to another reef. On the way we saw this 5-6ft thresher shark cruising the shallows.

Pretty cool. Incase you are wondering, you don't have to swim fast to get away from the sharks, just faster than someone else......

We came across a spot where someone had recently had a campfire on the beach. There must have been some food left laying around as there were crabs everywhere.


Colourful little critters.

Nic telling me to hurry up so that we can go for the next snorkel.


First thing we see on the second swim is a cool stingray.


First 'flute fish' we've seen in Pohnpei.

Absolutely awesome colours on some of the coral.


More clams.

A virtual garden of coral and fish life.


As we always do we packed the rods, reels and lures just in case.......
