Huge Honeycomb whipray spotted in Coral garden, first time we've ever seen one;o) Dolphins have paid a visit on the dives 3 times this month, so beautiful to see. Still quite a few mantas about and a 20 minute showing yesterday with two feeding in the current, lots of shark action at full moon. Sea snakes around with a huge one looking for dinner at Batu bolong. Schools of fusiliers everywhere and of course with their following of Giant and blue fin trevallys. Viz 20-30 mts. Temp 27c. Windy.

Papaya nudibranch? never heard of it, well here she is, 3 found at the airstrip, but first one goes to Nina, thanks to Christian for the photo. Lovely dives at Cannibal and Nurdins spirit down south for more incredible nudis and a lovely wee black frog fish with brown spots and white toenails. 2 teeny pygmy seahorses and lots of Mandarin fish to be found, nice reindeer wrasse at full moon. Very nice visibility now and the schools of fish are just beautiful. A few sea snakes around the reefs, 5 cuttle fish in the shallows of orange grove putting on a wonderful show. Huge Cowtail ray in Coral Garden and quite a few black tips in the Hanging Gardens, a lot of pickhandle barracudas and the biggest Great barracuda getting cleaned at Crystal rock, he was massive! Still seeing a couple of Mantas at some sites;o)

The Reefseekers Diving Team wishes you a very Merry Christmas;o))))

Awww another Dolphin moment for us, she just swooped in like a silver ghost into the middle of the schools of fusiliers we were watching and started chasing a fish around and around a coral head, then she shot up to the surface leaped out and back down to start again, a really wonderful moment, she came back again about 5 mins later for a short time, then with a quick flick of her tail she was gone, but one of our guests managed to video her;o)) the show the grey sharks, Tuna, white tip sharks, giant and blue fin trevallys were putting on, had to take second place;o) Then if that was not enough our second dive we had 2 mantas circling us, not a bad day;o)) Yesterday we had dolphins jumping around us before we got in the water, we could hear them all through the dive whistling and squeaking, Eva caught a glimpse of them at the surface, then our divers at Crystal rock had a surprise visit by one;o) Check out some more photos of Komodo from Albert and Marcel http://www.mijnalbum.nl/Album=4VTILHAE
still waiting for the photos from the rest of the Spice girls, Mark, Hanna and Mikael! Today 25th, yet another Dolphin visit, before we saw them, all of the schools of fish shot towards us to hide, then up they popped the silver shadows, they are huge! and of course more manta happenings in the afternoon dive, around 30 minutes with 3 circling us;o)) our friend Ian took 90 shots and was limited to that because of the recharge time for his strobe;o))

first week of July has had very calm days but also some windy days, lots of lovely diving, visibility goes on forever, water a wee bit chillier 27c. Sea snakes and octopus about on the reefs, lots of turtles and sharks, with Napoleon wrasse seemingly waiting on every corner;o) Photographers dream with 2 mantas feeding around us for most of one dive, very cute yellow painted frog fish found and he's there everytime we go back which is wonderful, giant green and a giant black frog fish found at a different site, so well hidden if you didn't know they were there you would have no chance of spotting them, lovely wee black ghost pipe fish at coral garden;o) Greys sharks still showing off in the current.
