A great day of diving


On Monday I took the day off and when for a scuba dive in the north of the island at Tulamben Bay. There you dive to the wreck of a ship that is in shallow water and you just go in off the very pebbly beach. I think it was the best quality and quantity of tropical fish that I have seen anywhere, and enormous numbers of soft corals. It was truly spectacular.

The interesting thing about diving there is that the local village has made an industry of carrying the tanks and gear down to the beach. I was amazed to see women juggling two tanks on their heads.

The trip to the north also involved traveling through some spectacular scenery.
