Angaga Experiment.Reloaded | day 6

Todays cover-picture shows the boat which gets us to the dive-spots. It looks a little bit rustic but the boat is very handy! In the middle of the boat the tanks are stored, to the left and right side people can sit. The roof protects against sun and can be used for sunbathing if you climb up the stairs on top of it. In the front of the boat divers use the platform to jump into the water and at the sides they move down a lather to get up on the boat again after the dive. There is a toilet under deck and a shower with freshwater at the front side. You see – everything needed for a good dive is in place ;)

Today we had just one dive in the morning at ‘Endiri Tila’, about 50 mins by boat from Angaga island. This was the best dive we had so far. The reef is so beautiful – it’s unbelievable! Tons of glas-fish, a moray in every second hole, hunting tunas and bluefin-mackereles, lionfishs, anemones of fancy colors with clown-fish inside and best of all – no current. Today the water was crystal-clear at about 30°C. A perfect dive!

In the afternoon we took a break – just some snorkeling at the house-reef and relaxing. Because tomorrow we need power and also some luck at sharkewale-watching. Don’t forget to cross your fingers!

And here some eye-candy for you:

For the curious reader … the last picture is ‘Dori fish soup’ (powder blue tang). Have you ever seen such a big swarm? No? Me also not! Unbelievable …

Today just some impressions from Angaga island. The colors you see on this shot are original – no Photoshop – I swear ;) This is what we see if we take 10 steps out of our apartment and turn right.

According diving … in the morning we went by boat to ‘Madivaru Manta Point’ which took us about 50 minutes. Maximum dive-depth was 16m with medium well sight of about 10m. Dive-time was 55 minutes with a water-temperature of about 29°C.

We meet two Mantas but they came not near enough to take a good picture with my 8mm fish-eye :( But we’ll be back again by the next 8 days, so let’s see if we can snap a great picture of this cool animals.

At the afternoon we had one dive at Angagas house-reef with some good foto-opportunities. The most interesting one is the following picture of ‘something’ which moved like a snail but had amazing dimensions of about 30cm x 20cm. I’ve never seen something like that before … but maybe one of our readers can give us a hint?

Today we met our first sea-turtle. It’s amazing how ‘cool’ this little fellows keep in contact with snorkelers and divers. Most of the time you’re more or less ignored :)

And the second shot is just one more impression of Angagas house reef with really nice stone corals and crystal clear water.

This is it for today … see you soon,

Mario & Yoshi

_1010003

Before I forget, I’ve to show you one of my finest Christmas-presents of this year! It’s Mario & Yoshi which are well-known from Nintendos video-game Mario-World by people of my age ;)  It comes in a little box containing all needed pieces and a building-plan. You can get both from amazon and trust me – this means one hour of fun!
