Our Dive Crew

A big THANKS must be said to our Dive Crew.... we were so spoilt often diving with two or three dive guides... Who spoted so many amazing creatures for us to see. Their knowledge was amazing and they could always identify what we saw (although we are in the process of sending a couple of shots to Neville Coleman for identification - as we think there maybe some new species around!!)

So helpful they made diving a breeze - when we tell people we did 37 dives the first thing people say is "wow that must of been exhausting" when in fact it was the exact opposite - our dive and boat crew looked after us so well we could of kept on diving!!

So lets meet the guys who made our trip....

Sebastian (I promise he is in the photo)...

Piker and Johnah (the 30 degree water was often too cold for the boys who would jump is the fresh water wash tanks that had been sitting in the sun all day to warm up on the way home)

Jacob... The Amazing tricks Man - who would front flip off the bow of the boat in his full scuba gear!!
