On January 12th at night we had a green turtle laying eggs on the beach resort. On March 12th, about 60 days later, during low tide in the early morning, the cute baby turtles the egg shells left behind and ran down the beach. They are fast! Watch the short video clip - Click Image on the right!
Robert Darmanin, 3rd time repeat guest had a productive time taking pictures and he volunteered some for our pleasure. Thank you Robert!
During several nights we had rain showers, but the days were mostly sunny, calm and diving conditions were mostly very goColonial Tunicate with tiny zooids on a stem (Periphora namei) Click for larger image

Report from CJ (5 February 2009 Trip)
With a resort full of guests, the dive guides were kept on their toes and the boats rung with laughter. Thank You to Werner Kurn from Ocean Enterprises Mizrahi and Mario for bringing us so many nice folks! The guests were pleased with everything from the leaf scorpion fish (Taenianotus triacanthus), the Funeral Jorunn (Jorunn funebris), and even down to the tiny sea star shrimp (Periclimenes soror).
Diving conditions were great with mostly calm seas, great viz, cool critters and schools of fish.
At this time we also wish to bid farewell to Fabrice Ricaud, his long arms and laughter will be missed. We also wish to welcome aboard and Britta Mathias Baumbach who have been learning the ropes this trip
