My second day of diving on the 30th Dec was at Southwest Pinnacle and Sail Rock, leading down from a Buoy and rope, covered in sea life itself!
More Pink Anemonefish (can you see a theme of what I like snapping forming?!):
some Squirrelfish:
Big ol' clam:
The second dive of the second day was at Sail Rock. I dived here with Chris Mathew many years ago when I first went to Thailand. I had to come back for old times sake. It's just this big rock in the middle of the ocean! You can't see any other land around:
Getting ready to giant stride in:
Swimming with my dive-buddy, Andy:
Regulators are for pussys:
Bruno (divemaster/Instructor for the second day) took some snaps of me coming round a point:
And a pic of me taking a pic!
Sometimes there were so many fish you couldn't take pics because of them!
Couple of Longfin Bannerfish
Couple more Rabbitfish:
A Blacktip Grouper:
I remembered from last time I did Sail Rock, doing "The Chimney". Basically at 18m there is an entrance you can swim in to which takes you up a few meters till you pop out the top! Great fun:
Here's a Blue Ringed Angelfish:
You do NOT want to stick your hand on this guy:
Fish, fish and more fish:
Another Blacktip Grouper:
Here's a Hexagon Grouper! Pretty cool:
Butterfly fish:
These guys are lit up from my flash:
And some big schools of fish to finish the dive off with:
And that's it! I took some great video footage as well, I'll have to put some of it together when I have a chance!
