Yesterday the Expedition dived the sites around Misool:
We started with Nudi Rock (named this because the Island looks like a Nudibranch). There we found Hunting Grey Reef Sharks, many Pygmy Seahorses, Big Schools of Barracuda.
The next dive was at Neptune's Sea Fan. This features immense Seafans up to 4 meters across! Glassfish everywhere so the whole site seemed to move and shimmer. And a steep wall covered in Fans and hydroids.
Then a dive site called Little World. This is a tiny island with lots, and lots of life! Nudibranchs everywhere. Many, many Bumphead Parrotfish and a real thrill - juvenile Cleaner Pipefish!
The night dive was at Karang Wayil. Here we found heap sn and heaps of crustaceans and some Cardinalfish we had not seen before.
Overall a great, great day of diving!!!
Sorry about the short blog entires - they are in super remote locations and we can only contact via satellite phones. When they get nearer to Cell phone towers, we'll probably get more details and more pictures too!!!
