Palikir Pass is home to one the world's cleanest waves and attracts famous surfers from all over the world when the swell is right. In fact some of them are no doubt on there way right now with 15-18ft waves predicted for Tues/Wed next week (4/5 of Jan). Under the water can be just as exciting though with some spectacular sea life. Nic and I took the compound boat on Xmas Eve and dived P-Pass for the first time. The water was crystal clear and about 28 degrees.
We went straight to the bottom and spent about 5 minutes at 37.8 metres. The fish life was fantastic. Not a lot of coral but heaps of fish.
A little difficult to make out but these are Red Bass. Big Red Bass; about 15-20kgs of pure brutish fish. I'll be back here with a fishing line at some point and my cheapest jig as you don't often land too many of these bad boys.
Don't know why this picture is side-ways. But turn your head and look up to the surface from 35m down.
8 minutes of deco stop at 6 metres removed the build up of nitrogen from our blood and allowed us to look at some of the coral that lives closer to the top of the pass.
Mum and Dad stayed in the front anemone and the kids hid behind in the back one. Pretty awesome.
Not sure what this is but it was worth a photo.
