| During this very lucky trip, coming through | | | | TV, that there were actually TWO of them, |
| the Komodo Channel, four DUGONGS surfaced | | | | head-to-head. Very cute! |
| next to the boat!! These gentle animals | | | | |
| showed no fear, just slowly swam north. A | | | | Critter-loving guests got a mouthful at Pink |
| wonderful sight, and a first for most of us | | | | Beach and Cannibal Rock. Nudibranchs |
| on the boat. We were also greeted by lots of | | | | everywhere, many Frogfish, Mushroom Coral |
| Bottlenose Dolphins and a pod of Pilot | | | | Pipefish and an Indian Walkman. Just to |
| Whales. As I said, a lucky trip, and I | | | | mention a few. |
| haven't even started with the underwater | | | | |
| stuff yet… | | | | Best nightdive this trip was at Torpedo |
| | | | Alley, with the highlight beeing a super-rare |
| Both Crystal Rock and Takat Toko were at | | | | Bobbit Worm. |
| their best, with several Dolphins (this time | | | | |
| UNDER water, mind you…), lots of sharks | | | | Last day we dived at Moyo Island, with |
| and walls of fish. Stunning! | | | | Pelagic Triggerfish, loads of Longfin |
| | | | Bannerfish, a Turtle, Mantis Shrimps and two |
| As if it wasn't hard enough to find a Pygmy | | | | BIG Banded Seasnakes. |
| Seahorse, there are a few minuscule Denise | | | | |
| Pygmies around at Satonda Island. They're | | | | A wonderful trip, with good conditions |
| only as big as the tip of a toothpick, and | | | | through-out. Can hardly wait to go back out! |
| extremely well camouflaged. I filmed "one" of | | | | |
| these little fellows, only to realize later, | | | | P.J. Widestrand works as a Video-Pro on - |
| when we watched the day's footage on the big | | | | Asia's premier liveaboard fleet. |
