Three dives today with Sipidan Scuba. Weather wasn’t that great, overcast with showers, but there were a few sun breaks. First deep dive ever along the wall was wicked awesome. Definitely want to get into deep diving.
Dive #1: Discovery Wall
Max depth: 29 meters
Bottom time: 43 minutes
Notes: Deep dive for PADI Advanced Open Water; color chart comparison at depth; compared readout from depth gauges; saw 4 lion fish, turtle, 2 nudibranches, shrimp, damsel fish and trigger fish.
Dive #2: East Beach
Max depth: 19.8 meters
Bottom time: 50 minutes
Notes: Fish identification dive for PADI Advanced Open Water; Saw fish from 6 groups: trigger fish, bat fish, goat fish, butterfly fish, damsel fish, and angel fish; didn’t kick the coral (environmental awareness); also saw tiger cowrie shell, varicose wart slugs, and lots of yellowback fusilier.
Dive #3: Frogfish Corner
Max depth: 14.3 meters
Bottom time: 56 minutes

Madly jealous
varicose wart slugs.
That’s their name, don’t wear it out.
Surprisingly not as ugly as I was expecting.
