Happy New Year with Shrimps Galore

Rob: We would like to wish you all a Happy New Year and Safe Travels and Diving Adventures in 2009.

Here on Koh Lanta 2009 started with a bang as the fireworks and rockets endlessly went off. So far the only downside has been the stormy weather. Ah well that only means you can’t sit to long on the beaches so you might as well come diving.

After finishing an Open Water Course with Edward (which was great fun ) I got the chance to go and fun dive at Hin Daeng. Due to the current being strong in the morning we decided to make 2 dives here and it was spectacular.

Thank you! to Pauline from Singapore for making this trip a lot of fun! and thank you for letting me take my camera. We got to see quite a lot of cool stuff. Barracudas, 2 Ghostpipefish, Juvenile Emperor Angel Fish, Octopus, Boxfish, Giant Moray Eels and Batfish. Looking for the smaller stuff tho we were lucky enough to find a whole variety of Shrimps.

This is called a Marble Shrimp, very small and funky
