Siladen Day 2

June 22, 2018

Another spectatular day on the island & loads of photos (again!)
"What a difference a day makes"-
Everyone up early and motivated after yesterday's adventures.

"Plan your dive & dive your plan."

Our descent along the wall
Little fish in the anenome
Just like Nemo

School of tuna
We are but tiny creatures in the big ocean
An Orangutan Crab-
this teeny tiny guy (only abut 1 inch long) is covered in reddish hair and has extra long arms just like the land mammal...very interesting! 
A family that plays together...   :)
Tube sponges
Spiny lobsters do not have claws but these impressive antennae were as long as Matt's arms!
Turtle resting on a ledge to get a shell shine from these fishes
When the air runs low, you must rise to the top-
Back to the boat for a surface interval & time on the top deck
We loved our labeled mugs!
The water is a warm 26C but it is even warmer up here.

There was still time after the afternoon dive to snorkel in the shallow reef that ran along the beach.
These are some of Matt's snorkeling shots:
Chocolate chip sea stars and sea urchins

Giant Sea Clam (one of my favorite ocean animals)

Crown of Thorns starfish- another venomous creature
Moray eel
Same eel coming out from his hiding place for a swim- looks like a snake but it is a fish.
FIFA again! Great way to finish out our time at Siladen.
Tomorrow we fly to Bali-
