This was our 48th Liveaboard trip and was the best. The boat was comfortable(max 10 divers). The crew outstanding(would give Ocean Rover a run).Food was varied and prepared properly. The weather allowed us to go beyond Eastern fields to the New Territories (50 miles west of Eastern Fields). All submerged reefs and atols. The trip was 16 days so we were able to do exploratory diving in what will be known as the Unknown Territories(miles south of the New Territories). The Shark action here was like it was 20-30 years ago. We believe that we were the first divers here(more than 100 miles from land). We saw Greys, White tips, Bulls, Hammerheads, Silver tips, and the rebreather folks saw a Thresher! The coral was fresh and untouched-both hard and soft. The reef fish were countless and curious (except for one snapper that bit me on the back of the neck - ouch). The currents got a little hairy at times, so it wasn't for the meek. I have run out of space; suffice it to say there were many wonderful adventures for our memories. |
