Dance of the Clowns!

Clownfish are abundant throughout Hong Kong! They naturally defend their nest when they have eggs and often come charging up to divers to warn them off!

On our most recent dive we spot a couple of protective Clownfish and also a young juvenile.

Lionfish crazy in Hong Kong

We had such a great day of diving with the water visibility an unprecedented 15m+!!!

Before spotting the Green Sea Turtle we encountered lots of Lionfish including a very rare Black Peacock Lionfish!

Although beautiful these fish are very poisonous so care must be taken. They are also a very invasive species and have caused havoc in other reef systems around the world simply due to their large appetite for small fish and the lack of natural predators! Should we be worried about our waters?

Green Sea Turtle...........in Hong Kong!!!!!!!!!!!!

Title says it all! We have never seen or heard about spotting Turtles in Hong Kong waters but here it is! On our last dive and on our ascend to the surface this Green Sea Turtle comes swimming past us! He was not scared of us and seemed to want to see what we were doing!

 
What a Day for scuba Diving! The Water visibility was amazing too! Never before such good visibility!
