Lite trip to PG + Anilao

[Centrals]

Two dives in the morning.
1. Koala!! What a name.
Very good macro and rounding the dive with a big black frog fish.

2. Cathedral
A well known site and with good outcrop of hard coral. A big black frog fish sitting next to a big brown frog fish, Mating season?

I need to give my eyes a well deserved rest, some of the tiny nudi is really minute.

ASDC.
The resort is a bit run down and with very good reason. The lease is the issue therefore no investment until it is solved one way or another. Might have to move to another address.
I do not think I will bother to bring even fins on next visit. Will try to source a much powerful magnifying glasses for those minute nudi.

Last dive in PG in this trip.
Horse Head. But not during the ebb tide(low) so went to Canyons instead of waiting for the flood tide(high).
Horse Head(36m) and Fish Bowl(40m at the ledge) is a good acid test for any guide. Will have to wait for my next schedule visit in Oct.
Vis was suck but current was more or less non existence. Greeted by several barracuda and school of Jack. Canyons was not at its best because of lack of current ie. less lively!!!! Nothjng is perfect.
Heavy rain for the last couple days might have affected the vis.

Overheard a conservation about Atlantis! Cannot verify the accuracy of it so better not saying g any more. Only time will tell.

Fish Bowl is such a pretty site. Hope you enjoyed your dives @Centrals

Always has a soft spot for "Fish Bowl" as I saw my first hammerhead there yrs ago while tec dive inside it. We were just looking around and a lone big hammerhead with an entourage of tiny, relatively, white tips appeared in a distance. I could not tell what kind of shark first until she turned her head. Magic.
