The night dive yesterday was by boat to Maagiri Caves. An excellent dive with Sheryl who goes at the same slow pace as me, in photography mode. I saw the first Octocoral I have seen for years, plenty of Banded shrimps, Featherstars and Eels.
This morning’s first dive was Furana North, a fast current drift. Great overhangs at 20 metres with a Stingray, huge school of Glass fish, a Lobster and a juvenile Sweetlips with a weird black, yellow and white pattern.

The second dive was at Maagiri East which was a beautiful gentle dive on a reef teeming with fish. I was able to get several close-ups including a Titan triggerfish feeding on a fish carcase.

The afternoon dive at Devil’s Thila was productive and easy. A rarely seen Leaf fish was found by Andy at the end of the dive. A turtle was feeding next to him. A mantis shrimp appeared as I was attempting to shoot an Emperor angelfish, also a lobster in an overhang.
