Headhunter's Bay
Look familiar? After first three dives on the first day, we take a short tender ride from the boat towards an rock wall raising from the sea. Skull spotting for a while and then we start recognizing bones and skulls in the cracks. Many stories on how they got there, sure was spooky.
On the second day, we where getting out of the water after 3rd dive. Well known photojournalist Tim Rock (authoring diving guides for Lonely Planet, etc. etc.) was getting out of the water. As soon as he got the regulator out of his mouth, the adjectives describing the 'wow' of the site start coming out. In top 5 he says. With his experience, I'm not going to challenge that. What I can say is that the place was just awesome. Too much. Beautiful black coral, abundance of reef fish, wobikong, soft corals and then some.
We dove five days in Triton Bay and as promised, during my last dive here, I left my beard behind. No more. "I buried my beard in Triton Bay" -- There's a title for a blues song. I added a photo gallery for Triton Bay, most underwater pictures I've taken this trip... and that's why I'm here. I would not mind to have a macro lens though. I could capture smaller subjects. I guess I can't win every time.
