Finding Nemo

Post by Huskychemist »

As some of you know, I now live in Thailand. (Pattaya, about 90 minutes southeast of Bangkok) The diving in the Gulf is adequate, but it's not the "postcard" diving of Thailand that is advertisized to the rest of the world.

That diving happens to be the Andaman Sea and the Similan Islands. While I didn't make it to the Similans, I did make it to Phuket for four days of diving. I managed 12 great dives and 1 aborted dive due to an equipment failure. I took hundreds of pictures, most bad, a few good, and one or two great.

Since I'm still working on my full dive report, I wanted to share one picture that seems approprriate for this trip.

Well, I found nemo. This is a false clown anemonefish residing in a magnificent anemone.

I'll post my full dive report with some pictures later when it's finished.

Thanks.
Happy Diving!

Amazing, Lowell! Nemo has been located at long last. Such a cheeky little bugger...he is always hiding.

Well done!

Funny - after hearing what mean little fish those are, some people think Nemo deserved the dentist's office!

Neat picture! =D>

Diving. . . is an active physical form of meditation. It is so silent- You're like a thought.

SOME PEOPLE ARE LIKE SLINKIES. NOT REALLY GOOD FOR
ANYTHING, BUT THEY BRING A SMILE TO YOUR FACE WHEN PUSHED DOWN THE
STAIRS.
