Local support/shop contact info = Aquarius-(051-628-9363)
Marine life = Soft corals, basket sponges, small gorgonians, feather stars. Most rocks are covered in oysters. Fish life is quite prolific around this island. Snapper, damselfish, cardinal fish, wrasse, scorpian fish, rockfish, greenling, knifejaws, juvenile sheephead wrasse and juvenile groupers. There were many sea hares and some nudibranchs.
Other details = This island has nice diving. While I was there, there were no currents to speak of. The water temperature was warmer than other sites in this area. The bottom is covered in small boulders with some large rocks on top of these. The large rocks are where all the invertabrate action is.

Marine life = Waspfish were plentiful, damselfish and cardinal fish, wrasse, juvenile sheephead wrasse, gunnel, cuttlefish. At one site kelp and sponges were plentiful, at the other there were numerous starfish.
Other details = I dived at 2 sites on this island. The first site had little current, but the bottom was soft mud. Eventually the site silted up to very limited visibility. The second site had better visibility and was much more interesting, with a lot more marine life, but the current was very strong.

Marine life = Nudibranches, crabs, several octopuses (i'd say octopi but that just sounds funny and those very common but very large snails.
Other details = This is the second time I've been here. The first time was in the fall and the water was full of massive jellies. They had to be half a meter wide with a length of 1.5m if you included the tentacles. Vis was poor then too but better than last weekend. The best vis was around 5-8m.
