A fantastic week of Whalesharks
What a week we have had diving sail rock, Koh Phangans hidden gem, There have been 5 sightings in the last 8 days. Amazing visibility and massive shoals of barracuda and bat fish have topped off an incredible time.
Chaloklams Frog fish and sea horses
Diving koh phangan has never been so good, After a few reports of sea horses and octopus sightings underneath chalokam pier we decided to go on a night dive to check it out for ourselves, what an amazing dive…we managed to spot 5 octopus, 2 seahorses,2 unidentified nudibranchs which we are trying very hard to find in every fish journal that is available for this area, a pure white scorpion fish and a free swimming frog fish, now thats not bad for a single night dive just off the beach, photos will follow soon as will a video because we were lucky enough to have our professional award winning photographer Alexey Zaytsev with us and Evgeny kovban on video yo record the whole thing…Night dive anyone..?
Padi member forum and sea horse invasion
Koh Phangan has been lucky enough to host another Padi member forum at the mason arms, Tim Hunt our regional manger presented the forum and over 60 Padi members were in attendance.
Alexey zaytev has won an underwater photography completion in Russia with a fantastic shot of a whaleshark at sail rock. Also after s few local fun dives we have come across a host of new nudibranchs never seen before in this region, Macro diving locally is becoming a very popular past time with our resident photographers. The SpineySeahorses have been spotted at 3 of our local dive sites and they are becoming a regular attraction with our Photographer Alexey.
