Clarificatiion

 

November '81 thru February '82, I was employed as a heavy equipment operator by Antartic Support Services, the support contractor for the National Science Foundation Antartica Operations. A fringe benefit was a flight to the South Pole, the aircraft being a ski equiped C130. So, I have flown around the world 3 times and walked around the world 5 times. Hmmmmmmm!

Mantis Shrimp Gab Gab Reef

 

This shrimp can strike a camera lenses with enough force to crack the lense, so I have been told.

Gab Gab Reef Ball

 

Yes, that is my hand. Eel came out about 18" allowing me to scratch his underside.

My first sighting of an anenome of this color.

Two More Great Dives

 

Dove the crevice to 100 feet, played with a moray eel, close encounter with a small turtle and picked up a titanium knife that an unfortunate diver dropped. The 2nd dive was on the feeding station at the Nautilus dive site. Ken, on the left, was using a new camera for the first time and, hopefully, there may be some interesting eel photos.

Apra Harbor Entrance

 

The entrance to Apra Harbor is on the other side of this cliff. This was our view when we surfaced from our drift dive.

Why Are We Smiling?

 

We just completed a very enjoyable drift dive. Dive started at the Blue Hole and slowly drifted toward the harbor entrance. Large turtle , large barracuda, large lion fish and a group of small lion fish trying to hide on the under side of a large boulder. What a way to spend Sunday morning. The only activity that might be better would be to go to MDA's dive shop with a pocket full of cash. Made several new friends, Cap Scott, Devan, Joey and Jessica.
