Subject: Post: <p>One more dive was done on Koh Bon after a bit longer sleep. We were completely ready to bed already after eight and the wakeup call was only after seven, so finally we feel a bit more alive. In the evening the ship lights lured a lot of fish to hang around the ship and a big shark also followed them to catch some dinner. The shark was circling around the boat for quite a while, with everyone observing it on the deck with diving flashlights.</p><p></p><p>The dive was done on the same ridge as last night, this time with more light for photos. We met our our first octopus of the trip, although he was slighly shy and not so social, going to hide under a rock when I approached closer then a couple of meters with the camera. Dead and flat coral fields in some pictures were caused by the tsunami back in 2004.</p><p></p><p>The snake in the pictures is extremely venomous yellow-lipped sea krait, which I really did not want to approach very closely with camera. They have only very small fangs which cannot penetrate a wetsuit and are usually very peaceful, but still have ten times stronger neurotoxin than rattle snakes...</p><p></p><p>Now we are sailing towards Similan islands for two more dives and a barbecue evening.</p> Latitude: Longitude: Security Code:
