Default Tonga....again

Since I can't seem to find the edit button to fix a mistake I made, I'll start a new thread with more pictures from my recent trip to Tonga. I flooded a camera on one dive so I lost a bunch of pictures. However, I was still able to use my wife's camera. When time permits, I'll have the video finished of the divers collecting vanderbilt chromis.

Heading out to the collection spot.



How's this for a fin???



At work under water.



Some of the catch. Waiting in about 85 ft of water for the diver to change tanks and come back to get more.



Coming on board.



Giving a little assistance to some of the fish that were not quite adjusted. Needles are used to let the air out of the swim bladders.



A nice male Watanabe angel.



And a couple of corals that were picked up along the way.



Back on shore. Now the task of getting the fish back to the warehouse.



My wife making sure all her new friends are doing well. The 7 or 8 water changes on the way back to the wharf seemed to do the trick.



The sorting process.



A less than impressed Tonga flame wrasse.



Some of the corals at the facility.



and more...
