Dive day #2 Komodos North

Wie gester simmer au hüt wieder früeh ufgstande und hend üs ufgmacht i Richtig Tauchschuel.
Hüt ischs mit em Boot in Norde vo Komodo gange. Unter Taucher isch die Region sehr bekannt für starchi Strömige.

De ersti Tauchgang hemmer am Tauchplatz "Shotgun" gmacht. Direkt nochem Istieg hemmer i de Ferni en Manta gseh, wo sini Runde dreit het. Gege s Endi vom Tauchgang simmer i de eigentliche Shotgun acho.
Wie mer im Video gseht, isch da e Felskante, wo mer sich i de Strömig ine festhebet und s Gscheh gnüsse chan. So hemmer zu üsem Glück sehr nöch vor üs zwei Wisspitze Riffhai dure schwimme gseh. Zum de Tauchgang beende hemmer denn alli glichziitig losloh und üs vo de Strömig wegzieh loh. So hemmer s erste moll richtig Strömig vo Komodo erlebt. 😊

Am zweite (Castle Rock) wie au am dritte Tauchplatz (Cristal Rock) simmer wieder mit diverse Koralle und farbige Fisch verwöhnt worde. Sogar es chlises Pygmy Seepferdli hemmer versteckt i de Koralle gfunde, aber au Süesslippefisch und en Hufe wieteri Tier hend mer gseh. Am Obig hend mir zrugg i de Tauchschuel en feine Znacht dörfe gnüsse. Aschlüssend het d Rebecca ufem Hoteldach no Theorie für de Tüfetauchgang vo morn glese.

As yesterday we woke up early again and headed towards the dive center. Today the boat took us up into the north of the Komodo National park, a region that is well known within the dive communty for its strong currents.

At our first dive site (shotgun) we jumped into the water and have instantly spotted a manta circling around a bit further out in the ocean. Towards the end of the dive we reached the actual shotgun. As seen in the video underneath it is an edge of a cliff where all the current comes together. As a diver you wanna stay right in there holding on to that cliff since there is the most wildlife activity. At this point two white tip reef sharks have passed by really closely to us. Finally to finish this dive we have all let go of the edge at the same time to get washed away by the current which meant a lot of fun. It was our first time to really experience the currents of komodos north.😊

During the following second (Castle Rock) and third dive (Cristal Rock) we were spoiled again by beatiful corals and marine life. We saw a pygmy seahorse hidden in the corals, some sweetlips and lot more diffrent fishes. In the evening we enjoyed dinner at the diving schools restaurant and later Rebecca read the theory for the deep dive tomorow.Read more
