    2009-04-07 Spain Majorca & Cabrera Islands
    Malgrats Punta

    Buddied w/ Beth. Much smaller group, just us, X & Rodolfo (leader). Great dive :) over the drop off from 12 to 20ish m, loads of life, primarily under rocks! Same fish as before, plus a Great Rock Fish (under a rock!!), more octopus, huge moray eels, a cigalis (Cape Town lobster), langoustine, spiny lobster, barracuda, 2x John Dory, dentex, more nudibranch of various colours/shapes, more bream, picarel, cardinal fish, damsel fish... The usual! Suit didn't leak again :) cool end, swimming out away from the wall into the blue at about 5m. Great finish to 3 good days diving :)

    2013-02-05 Seychelles Mahe
    Stalk Patch

    Avg depth 16.8m Fantastic dive; had been told there 'might' be sharks - we counted 12 at once!! Mainly grey reef sharks but also a couple of white-tip; amazing! Also spotted eagle rays, and 2 small manta rays! Also amazing :) Fantastic spot; a big lump of rock from about 7m down to 23m; we sat for ages just watching the sharks. Loads of other life too; barracuda, boxfish, plenty of batfish, seychelles anenome, humbug damsels, longtail bannerfish etc etc etc - best dive for wildllife I've ever done!! Dived with Dive Resort Seychells again; guides Juliette and Grandy.

    2009-03-17 Turkey Marmaris
    Reef Bay

    Great dive, w/ Beth, Ross & commandos again. Lots of life on the 'reef'; lobster, octopus, hermit crab, lots of fish - much more to see than during the day! New batteries in my torch proved a winner :) need to buy a fish ID book... Floating on my back looking at the stars :D

    2011-08-10 Viet Nam Nha Trang
    Moray Beach

    Dived with legendary guide Anh & a French guy called Laurent. Not much to see initially; sandy bottom & a few rocks down to 18m, a few nudibranch incl. a very large purple one! Dive improved massively as we came back up into the rocks & corals around 10m; lots of small fish (too many types to list!) incl. boxfish, moray eels, clown fish (inquisitive!), leaf-fish... Nice, warm, long dive :)
