We went Diving at a new dive site today - “Blue Hole”

This is basically a big, blue sand hole about 30-40ft deep, surrounded by Coral Reef. The most striking thing about it for me was how blue it was - it really changed the colour balance of the photos I took.

There was not a lot of interesting fish to see, and the visibility was getting messed up by the resort divers (not their fault - they’re new to diving) but there were thousands of tiny fry/bait fish that were in huge shoals. At one point we had to swim blindly through the shoal of fish, as they were so dense we couldn’t see past them. It was very cool when they parted like a theatre curtain though to reveal the cut in the reef behind them.

It was the 2nd time diving with Eric and Tina, who both had a better experience this week.

The photo highlights were Jules swimming in a swim-through and hovering in the water as the fish start to part as I approach.
