I thought you might be interested in a quick update on what's been happening here on sunny (but currently windy) Roatan, Bay Islands, Honduras. 'Last week was so hot, but flat calm, great diving weather, and Gin clear, 40ms and more. I did one of my top 10 dives at 'Missing Link' just 10 minutes boat drive away from the dive shop. Dropping into the water, a Great Barracuda was hanging there as if to say 'come on, if you think you're hard enough ?', anyway dropping down to the wall, the drop off is hundreds of meters with a great upwelling, guaranteeing shoals of fish. There were indeed shoals, a veritable 'fish soup', but all in their distinct groups, 20 or so Atlantic Spade fish, in a tight group, Some very large Horse Eye Jacks shadowed us along the reef, Bermuda Chub checked us out, along with the yellow tails and all the time the cascading shoals of Creole Wrasse, poured past us over the edge into the abyss. Fantastic, so much to look at and at the turn around point ( I just love wall diving, it is impossible to get lost !), as we came up to shallower water a beautiful Hawksbill turtle calmly swam past. It is also the small things that are fascinating, The Bay Islands are, famous for their Invertebrates. Anemones here are always attended by their shrimps. Pederson Cleaner Shrimps are tiny with electric blue claws and always seem to be 'gardening' around their Corkscrew Anemoes, in groups of two or three with, more often than not one or two Yellowline Arrow Crabs close by. Banded Coral Shrimps are tucked away under crevices, but given away by their long antennae testing the water and usually in sight if you look carefully. An hour goes by in a flash, time to come up, wrinkled fingers an' all. Last night we went night diving, and the Crabs (Channel Clinging) and Spiney Lobsters were out in force. We sat on a sand patch and turned off the torches and were surrounded by luminescent stars as we moved the water with our hands, amazing like being in space. Moving on, the basket stars were out, so hard to spot in the day, we fed them the nematode worms attracted by our torches; Just hold the torch behind them or close to the feeding corals and the worms blunder into the tentacles, great fun and, just think, we help the corals and basket stars get a nights meal in a couple of minutes.'
