Before I headed over to Cairns to support the refit of FSS MICRONESIA Nic and I went for dive at a spot we dive a few weeks before, this time with the camera. We saw plenty of fan coral on the previous dive and we weren't dissapointed this time either.
As soon as we entered the water we headed down to 20 meters and right there was the first one. These things obviously come is all shapes and sizes, some of them are massive.
Along with the fan corals there was the standard fare of maginificently coloured fish.
The photos don't do them justice.
They are just everywhere on this dive. I have only seem them in one other spot on the entire island. I'm not sure why they are all in this spot, but I'm glad they were.
Nic and small fan coral.
This one was the biggest we saw, at least ten foot high.
As well as the fans there was plenty of beautiful soft corals aswell.
And triggerfish (leather jackets).
A pretty cool starfish.
This fish swam around our heads getting pretty close at times.
At the right angle and when the sun stuck its head out is was simply magnificent.
Magazine quality.
A dive in Pohnpei wouldn't be complete with seeing Nemo. This was a big soft coral.
Along with the angry but shy Nemo.
And plenty of sea slugs.
Yet another great few hours in our lives in Pohnpei.
