Picnic at Satang Island

13/05/2007

This trip was different from the others as there were only a few of us and the intention was not just diving. We landed on the island on the island late and found a great spot on the beach.

 

After everyone settled down, me and my buddy took off for a shore dive to check out a different spot. I was very anxious to try out my camera after it was in the ‘clinic’ for a while. Corals were starting to grow on the reef and there were plenty of small fishes around. At one point we were not alone, there was a parrotfish (picture below) which makes my day.

This crab just wouldn’t go away after we found it hiding among our dive gear.

Huge Angelfish kept checking on us even after I told him I paid the park fee!

Giving Rosie a try at scuba diving. She is a fast learner.

This guy is not scared of me at all. I think he just woke up.

At last, a nudibranch for me to try out my macro shoot.

This parrotfish was big one!

 

When I saw a trail of narrow silt cloud, I thought it was a grouper moving away which was normal around this reef but after a few more metres, the silhouette was something else. The light blue, green and silver colour of the fish provides a natural camouflage to protect itself from predator. Wonders of mother nature at work.

 

It must have been about 45cm in length and weighs at least 3kg. A fish of this size always makes the reef attractive to leisure divers, just hope hunters around here don’t find out.
