How lucky were we?

[Big Fic]

We just got back from two weeks in the Philippines. We stayed at Atlantis Puerto Galero and Dumaguete. Both resorts were awesome but the reason we were lucky was...........BLUE RINGED OCTOPUS!!! We saw 2 of them during our stay at Puerto Galero. The dive masters we had said they had seen only 2 in about 2000 dives and another on had only seen 4-5 in 5000 dives. We saw 2 in 25 dives. WOW!! I also got some great pictures and will post them later.

Awesome, can't wait to see the pics! Did you let them bite you? I guess not or you wouldn't have lived to write about it. I hear their toxins can be quite hallucinogenic! LOL... just kidding. Seriously looking forward to seeing the pictures!

Not to burst your bubble....we see them about 1 in 10 dives....they are everywhere in the PI. We have everything....come back soon!!

The Philippines are great aren't they? I've been there 3 times, not enough time. If you plan on going back, try Mactan Is. Cebu, or Panglao Is. Bohol.
I posted pics of my trip in Feb 2008, http://www.scubaboard.com/gallery/member.php?uid=36576&protype=1
