The first Rule of diving.....

So I rediscovered Ille Seche or Beacon Island today. (Just of Mahe in Seychelles for non-Sechellois) We have not dived there for some time and not really at the right spot as we discovered. We had spectacular 20m plus viz, a mild current, but what a show the animals put on.

We saw thick schools of glassies ( part of ranga tanga) with large schools of silver batfish hovering above them followed by an endless, (probably the largest ever school  witnessed by man) Golden Trevally....(jackfish, kingfish)  wow...I just hanged there as the schools patrolled passed in their frenzy food fest.


( The site is almost of map below in NE corner)

Sadly I was hanging onto  a buoy while wife Sue was shooting some interesting macro .....she also managed .some great shots of PINK jellyfish.

I had once again broken the first rule of diving if you call yourself a photographer....TAKE YOUR CAMERA ALONG DUDE!

Going back tomorrow, but with my luck that school of trevally will have decimated the glassies and the viz will be sh....The other lesson is. NEVER DISCARD a dive site, especially the one on your doorstep.

Lets hold thumbs! Wish me some luck please.
