Day2
Nudi Retreat1
Near an anemone, I saw some banggai cardinal fish, just a couple - not like yesterday where they were in huge number. I then saw a juvenile ribbon eel, I love ribbon eels when they are still young because the colour is much nicer. A juvenile would be bright blue with yellow line, while an adult one would have a dull green with yellow line. I mean , bright is prettier than dull. Later on, I saw an electric clam hiding between the pits of two rocks. You can't really see it without some torch or extra light. I've seen this before last october in Bali, but my video for this was not too good, so I decided to take a shot at it, and the result was better- even though it might not be THAT good.

An ambon scorpion fish welcomes my arrival to this dive site. It was amazing how it was right beneath the boat. I then saw a common sehorse, it was not so common as it was my first time seeing it. Anyways, I then saw a beautiful lionfish next to this rock, which I later realised was a stone fish. In this dive site, I saw not 1, but 2 hairy frogfish. I guess that's why they call the divesite HAIRBALL, too much hair around. heheh. One of the hairy frogfish was purple and one was orange. It was not as hairy as I expected. I mean I watched a video of hairy frogfishes and it looked like they had longer hair. BUt then again, maybe they just shaved. haha.

The first thing I saw during this dive was a warty frog fish, the guide didn't point it out to me, I saw it myself. Wow, I was so produd of myself then, because it's a one time thing, my eyes are not very keen in these water, especially not without my glasses. I then saw these yellow with balck striped fishes that hides in bottles, they look so nice, it almost gives an effect of a snake or a juvenile eel.

During this dive I saw some more cuttlefish, there were small ones and quite large ones. There was this really adorable cuttlefish, it was small and white. I loved becuase it was cute. When I was taking pictures I realised that there were some planktons or worms coming towards the bright light of my flash, and I spotted this nudibranch that swam like a spanish danceer- I wasn't quite sure what it was because I only had a glimpse of it. At the end of the dive I found a flying gurnard, I began taking pictures of it, and realised that there was another one beside it, it was awesome. The dive just got better and better throughout.
