This is a picture of the shark, its not a great shot as the visibility wasn't too great and i spent most of the time trying to get it on movie. So have a look at that for a better shot

Diggler attracts a storm !!!

Storm(e) (Yes i know, BUT it is with an E),a South African divemaster tried to mount Dirk underwater. The Digler attraction strikes again!!!

Black sea Urchin

These were great i love their jelly like eyes, there is another pic of us holding one

Brain coral

does this really need a caption?????

Under the sea- its so much better down where its wetter, take it from meeeeee

im like this picture, this is at the bottom of a bouy line

pretty colours eh???

A school of Barracuda

Again not hreat due to the poor visibility, hope you can see them though, they are about 1/2 metre long!!

one bat fish

Claires arty shot 2

Again Ban Kai

The whole school together

It was amazing to see so many big fish together and swim alongside them, we loved it!!!

Cave swimming

This was great going through the caves, the pics didn't come out too well as the bubbles have nowhere to escape to

stunning shell

I can't remember what these are called, but i lawys see them painteed and sold in lots of different countries by the sea, well i've seen a live one now!!!!

the three amigos

These are my pals from the advanced open water diving course, Neils and Fabienne

welcome to my home

And this is the little animal that lives inside the shell

wierd lookin fish

This is another fish i'm not sure what it is, but it was pretty wierd!!!!

Weaver butterfly fish

These little cuties are all over the place, they really cute, with their little snouts!! They're about the size of my hand

feisty fish

these little fish are great , they're really feisty, they charge at you and nip your hand, but they don't hurt as their teeth are so small

Tommy a la fish

Well tommy's surname certainly rings true, he looks quite fish like with the mask squashing his face!!!!!!!!!

Gormless Claire

I thought seeing as i put gormless one of Tommy on, i'd better put this one on of me looking Clueless! The scenery at the top was stunning and the water was crystal blue!!

The beach at Ban Kai

Claire dancing under the sea

la la la, I didn't need music down here, i had the bubbles n christmas worms to dance with
