Dive 1 Barakuda Kandu

Dive 2 Western Highlights

Dive 3 Mantas & More

Nice channel dives today, filled with many barracudas some grey reef sharks and beautiful soft corals,

We are facing a strong outgoing current at mantas and more we get blown through the channel. At the channel edge we find shelter in the deep overhangs avoiding getting shot out in to the Blue.

The overhangs are beautiful, fully grown with corals and many sweet lips hiding from the current as well.

One the way back to the edge a big Manta is gliding above us around 30 meters like there would be no current.

26.07.2018

Dive 1 “Just like the old times”

Dive 2 Flying Dutchman

Dive 3 Alimatha

Absolutely insane day, today starts out with “Just like the old times”.
This channel is pretty deep and got crossed just a few times this year and it’s a favourite spot of Werner Lau.

We been facing a strong incoming current with great visibility. We separated the group in to experienced divers and crossed it.

Absolutely crazy! It became dark cause there have been a swarm of around 100000 red Snappers.

We kept going and going, our deco limit started getting to an end. Suddenly a huge group of around 50 sharks circled in front of us.

We could hang around 8 minutes at the edge until we had to let go. We reached the faru directly after 2 more minutes and drifted out that crazy dive.

Second dive was an explorer by super strong incoming current. Directly a success 15 Eagle rays at the Edge.

The guests named the spot Flying dutchman cause the Dutch group got wash mashined at the end of the dive and got ripped from 10 to 20 meters up and down.

We finish the day at Alimatha with around 80 nurse sharks.

Slow incoming current blows us through the channel, gliding between the Blocks and finishing the dive smooth at the corner. Last dive of the day brings us 5 eagle rays.
