Flag of Tanzania  , Zanzibar Archipelago,
Wednesday, July 7, 2010

This was another good dive.  We saw a lot of fish again.  Loads of butterflyfish, red fang triggerfish, batfish, longfin bannerfish, goldtail angelfish, unicornfish, moorish Idols and a smooth grouper.  We also saw 2 different types of moray eel and a crocodilefish! 

The most interesting fish though, were the different types of pufferfish that we saw.  There were solander's tobys, honeycomb tobys (which are small) and a large mappa pufferfish. Visibility was decent and most of the dive was shallow so the colours of the coral were clear to see.

I paid a lot more attention to my dive computer on this dive, its quite cool to watch the no decompression time change with depth.  The only problem is that I look at my watch for depth instead of my gauges, meaning I don't often check my air

.  Fortunately I don't use much it's not a great problem, but it is something I'll have to watch on deep dives.

I enjoyed this dive and again the instructor helped us out with indentifying all the fish which is very helpful.
