Other regular visitors to the bay are Eagle rays which I saw on 2 occasions, once an up close and personal experience but abain my camera was on the beach. This encounter was at 20 meters but the ray was having none of me as this was the best I could manage as it disappeared into the depths
Turtles are another regular visitor and lay their eggs on the beach which is then fenced off in that area. I met this one at about 18 meters and swam with it for a while.
Blue spotted sting rays abound in all depths. I saw this guy at about 25 meters but he shot off into a small cave just before I took the shot, it turned out to be a good thing as he looks quite good here
I have seen big morays before swimming in the open and have always found them intimidating to say the the least. So it was with some initial alarm that I welcomed this guy to swim with me for about 10 minutes. Now when I say swim with me I mean exactly that, it was very interested in me and came up close to look at me but showed no aggression what so ever. Bear in mind that those butterfly fish are about 12cm 5 inches long.
Now when it comes to fishing this guy takes some beating! A pair of fish eagles live next door to the hotel and fish the reef top daily. I took this short sequence of the master in action
He never missed!
Well there you have it, well some of it. I certainly hope that didn't sound to much like a commercial but In view of the work they are doing I hope others may actually see it as an excellent destination for the family with the prospect of good diving for them all.
