the company sponsored clean up dive turned out to be a fun dive instead. we really didn't find any crown of thorns and there's also not much trash around... which is a good thing. people are starting to take good care of the sea.
my last dive was last february i think... so i'm glad that i got to free up my sched today. hmmm... since i don't maintain a dive log anymore, i'm thinking of using this blog as some sort of an online dive log.
the two sites that we checked out today are:
Arthur's Rock
this site starts out as a gradual slope at around 5 meters. then you eventually go further down to around 18-20 meters. eventually, you will get to see a small wall with some boulders and a small cave. they say that in this area, the current can sometimes be really unpredictable. we're lucky that it was really calm this morning despite of the weather. things to watch out for in this dive site are sweetlips, emperor fish, surgeons and of course lots of clown fish. this is a recommended site for beginners.
my highlights are spotting a turtle, blue-spotted stingray, and a gray spotted moray eel. it's my first time to see a turtle during a dive trip!!!
bottom time: 45 minutes
maximum depth: 70 feet
Twin Rocks
this dive site is known for the remains of a capsized barge which a lot of batfishes frequent.
the twin rocks are found in the shallow part of the site, about 8-10 meters. it's a small area surrounded by rock corals that are filled with small anthias and basslets.
schooling jacks or trevallies are said to frequent the site.
i got to see 3 pufferfishes and again, a gray spotted moral eel. i'm satisfied.
bottom time: 37 minutes
maximum depth: 70 feet
i'm tired... i don't feel like working tomorrow. we'll see.
