As is always the case the fishing rods are always onboard. So we decided to troll all the way over from Pohnpei. Unfortunately we didn't catch any marlin this time.
First dive saw us get down to 36.5 metres. Here is a couple of beautiful Maori Wrasse. The bigger one was about 20kgs at least.
The colours in the photo don't do this fish justice. It is some sort of parrot fish and had great colours.
29 degree water lets us stay in swimmers all the way down to 36 metres. We don't miss the water temp in Perth that's for sure.
The highlight of this dive was coming across four eagle rays. They played around in front of us for about five minutes. It was simply awesome.
It was like they were playing tag at one stage. Great just to stay still and watch it all happen.
Facinating.
As we often seem to on our dives or snorkels here in Pohnpei, we come across Nemo.The first dive was awesome: we saw Maori Wrasse, Red Bass, Giant Trevally, Blue-fin Trevally, Rainbow Runner, Eagle Rays and a Dog Tooth Tuna.
After the first dive we pulled up the anchor and headed to a different spot. At our intended destination we came across what was easily a hundred dolphins. We drove around with them for a little while and had a few of them come swimming beside the boat and under the bow. Awesome.
The second dive was on the back side of Ant Atoll which is pretty much a sheer face cliff dive. Freaky but very cool at the same time.
The visability is unbelievable, 50 metres at least.
Another beautiful clam. We always come across a lot of these as well and you never get tired of seeing them.
A different type of Nemo but no less spectacular.
The funny thing is they always want to look head on so getting a good photo can prove difficult.
Most of the little fish have fantastic colours that really stand out against the bleached coral.
Right at the end of the second dive we became engulfed in a massive school (200-300) of blue-fin trevally. I didn't have the camera on so I missed what would have been some awesome photos but here is the school on the other side of Nic.
Not the best picture but they were never far away so staying close to the reef was the best anti-shark plan.
