\"\"

These things again, they look like underwater grapes<\/p><\/div>\n

\"\"

Moray Eel<\/p><\/div>\n

\"\"

Puffer<\/p><\/div>\n

\"\"

Ghost Pipefishes<\/a>, now these are special<\/p><\/div>\n

\"\"

I’m pretty sure that’s a Trumpetfish<\/a><\/p><\/div>\n

\"\"

And another Scorpionfish trying to go unnoticed<\/p><\/div>\n

\"\"

Butterflyfish<\/p><\/div>\n

\"\"

Lionfish<\/p><\/div>\n

\"\"

Red Snapper<\/a>, I think, but don’t know what variety<\/p><\/div>\n

\"\"

Soft corals that dance in the currents<\/p><\/div>\n

\"\"

These Scorpionfish would be beautiful if they weren’t so ugly<\/p><\/div>\n

\"\"

Are they eggs of some kind?<\/p><\/div>\n

\"\"

Now what movie does this remind me of?<\/p><\/div>\n

\"\"

Crown-of-thorns<\/a> Starfish, a very nasty<\/a> thing<\/p><\/div>\n

\"\"

Just nice looking corals<\/p><\/div>\n

\"\"

Once again, no idea what kind of fish this is, the colour pattern reminds me of a Giraffe<\/p><\/div>\n

\"\"

I was a-maze-d by this coral<\/p><\/div>\n

\"\"

We’re doing our safety stop again<\/p><\/div>\n

\"\"

End of the first dive<\/p><\/div>\n

\"\"

The Phi Phi Islands<\/p><\/div>\n

\"\"

Second dive, we stay in the shallows for a bit, hoping to see some small sharks but didn’t see much<\/p><\/div>\n

\"\"

A Longfin Batfish<\/a><\/p><\/div>\n

\"\"

Could this be a Grouper?<\/p><\/div>\n

\"\"

This Mortay Eel looked kind of surprised<\/p><\/div>\n

\"\"

But it was more than happy to pose for a photo<\/p><\/div>\n

\"\"

Another Nudibranch<\/p><\/div>\n

\"\"

Lobster, trying to whack me with its tentacles<\/p><\/div>\n

\"\"

And what is this!? Some parasite? Or is this what comes out of these egss (if that’s what they are)?<\/p><\/div>\n

\"\"

Young Lionfish<\/p><\/div>\n

\"\"

Lovely coloured coral<\/p><\/div>\n

\"\"

LionFish, this one seems to have all its spines interconnected via some kind of webbing?<\/p><\/div>\n

\"\"

Fish galore<\/p><\/div>\n

\"\"

More hard coral<\/p><\/div>\n

\"\"

A close-up<\/p><\/div>\n

\"\"

Leaving the Phi Phi Islands for Shark Point<\/p><\/div>\n

\"\"

A lot of Lionfish today!<\/p><\/div>\n

\"\"

And Moray Eels<\/p><\/div>\n

\"\"

These always look funny to me, and they’re always just lying somewhere, never swimming, unless you scare them<\/p><\/div>\n

\"\"

This is also something rather special these crabs but I forgot what they are called<\/p><\/div>\n

\"\"

They’re beautiful though, nice patterns<\/p><\/div>\n

\"\"

There’s a Flounder<\/a> hiding in this photo<\/p><\/div>\n

\"\"

And this, it could just as well have been some plant living above the water but instead it’s a coral living under water, crazy<\/p><\/div>\n

\"\"

A Cuttlefish<\/a>, not cuddle fish<\/p><\/div>\n

\"\"

I see these a lot as well, soft corals curled up like a fern<\/p><\/div>\n

\"\"

Yet another Lionfish<\/p><\/div>\n

\"\"

And a beautiful purple Anemone<\/p><\/div>\n

\"\"

Little coward of a Clownfish hiding in his villa<\/p><\/div>\n

\"\"

I don’t think I’ve seen so many Moray Eels in one dive before<\/p><\/div>\n

\"\"

See what I mean?<\/p><\/div>\n

\"\"

End of the dive at Shark Point<\/p><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
