The Rupiah Sea Gardens

   Rachel's still doing her dolphin impersonation down at the scuba school and I've been left to do my own thing. And here there's not much to do - which is by no means a complaint. Sitting in a hammock on the beach with a cold beer and a novel suits me just fine. But I do get a twinge of guilt for being so unashamedly lazy. Just a twinge mind you. Today after my normal period of inactivity I hopped on a boat and went to snorkel around a local coral reef called the Rupiah Sea Garden and take a few pictures of the local wildlife. Cleared that twinge right up.

Nemo is alive and well. Unless the locals find him in which case he's sushi.







This is soft coral. It's best desribed as a living shag-pile carpet - the outer layer of coral moves back and forth with the currents. Quite mesmerising







Just your average singing fish. Nothing out of the ordinary.


He had a deep voice - I think he 's a Bass.
