I sure did. I think there is a clip of them somewhere in the video but it's from the side and in the distance so can't really tell. Was a very cool experience

While I'm sure there are tons of reason's for coral bleaching, there was an interesting article in DAN's Alert Diver that's a good read and a fairly seeming simple remedy if more people knew...

My wife and I will be going to Okinawa, Japan in March 2016, diving at the Zamami Islands. We've never done any scuba before (taking the cert in new year), although I have done some snorkeling in Hawaii many moons ago. Really looking forward to it!

fish and sps

A few years ago I had the chance to snorkel and dive the Philippines, Bali and the gili islands.
Philippines were cheap and beautiful. Tons of fish and incredible massive colonies of sps!!!! I was in boracay. For incredible sps color Bali gets my vote. The snorkeling in sanur absolutely blew my mind!!! Have fun in the Philippines!!!

Saw my first shark while snorkeling, off St.John's (Caribbean) a couple weeks ago. Startled me as he was right under me about 10 ft down, so quietly got out of there as fast as I could... Turned out to be just a nurse shark (not supposed to be dangerous),... but I didn't know that at the time. Was about 6 - 8 ft long.

The larger lions were bagged and brought back to the boat for a beach bbq.

Cool! I want to eat lionfish.
