Colourful dives

On Tuesday some of us went back to Verde Island. I found it to be even more beautiful on this occasion, and we got the chance to dive at the Washing Machine as well this time. As you can probably guess, the site is known as such due to currents which create the effect of being in a washing machine. However, no currents for us.

Beautiful, easy, shallow dive with absolutely stunning life. I didn't take my camera as it was low on battery so enjoyed just diving, with my favourite sighting a gorgeous box fish. Feeling a bit ripped off on the washing machine experience, Kay and Ran tried to replicate it with a bit of self imposed tumbling at the end of the dive while we did our safety stop. Shame I didn't have my camera for that.

We went to Hole in the Wall on Wednesday which was also stunning. Shallow but quite a strong current. A lovely dive. I practiced my wide angle photography on these dives. I have mixed up a selection of photos here from these sites, and maybe from Fantasea too.

My wide angle improved over the course of the trip, in particular my lighting and settings, although not so much my composition and angle from which I captured most of these. Oh well, looks like I'll have to go diving some more for practice! In any case, these should give a sense of the variety and spectacular colours we were treated to on so many of our reef dives.
