海下灣 Hoi Ha Wan - Bay Beneath the Sea

Thirty-seven species of coral have been identified in Hoi Ha Wan,
Sai Kung which is one of the last remaining unpolluted bays in the coastal waters of Hong Kong. Along with the corals is an abundance of marine life, which either lives with or in the corals.
Despite the richness of marine life at Hoi Ha Wan, few people are aware that corals could even exist in Hong Kong.
This film will enlighten anyone interested in marine life and will be an invaluable asset to the general public.

西貢海下灣是本港最後一個未受污染的海灣，該處已錄得三十七種珊瑚，尚未包括在附近出沒和寄居於珊瑚內的海洋生物，物種可謂豐盛。

海下灣的海洋生物雖繁茂，然而知道香港存有珊瑚的人卻不多。
這套影片為熱愛海洋的人展示了繽紛的海底世界，為所有人提供寶貴的資料。

Frigate Mackerel (Tuna) at Long Ke Wan (Sai Kung)

had fun dive at Long Ke Wan (Sai Kung) on 3rd July.

dived with a Mexican. It was quite dangerous at the end of the first dive because a speed boat pass by our head, when we were swimming to boat at the depth 3m.
In the second dive, I saw a group of yound Frigate Mackerel (one kind of Tuna). Their size was about 10 inches and I guessed there were about 150-200 piece.
This has been the first time that I saw tuna in Hong Kong since I learned diving.
當上水後問其他船上的人是否很到這群Tuna?他們境然不相信我看到的是Tuna。還問是不是看錯章紅當Tuna?
Tuna這麼明顯的特徵都攪錯？

而章雄即(Greater amberjack)

所以經常留意魚的特徵，不難分開2者。

Diving in Palau between 20110408 and 20110416

開始是頗順利的旅程。因我的寄倉行李足有42Kg，但經濟位機票只許免費寄20Kg。

Napolean wrasse

我即管和Check-in 小姐說，我是去潛水，是不是可有Sport item extra allowance?她說：沒有的，除非你預早申請，通常只有輪椅等才可豁免。她跟著process 了boarding pass 一會，她說：這是你的boarding pass，因閘口較遠，早點到機場。我心想，不是沒exempt，要charge嗎？我便立即快快離開。我到現在也不知，是她忘了，還是她用權力免了我的over load charge.

經馬尼拉轉機到Palau 後，已是深夜3時。再經20分鐘車程，便到了碼頭上船。

Japanese war ship (Helmet wreck)

因船只是半滿，所以我可獨佔一間雙人房。本來我是book Suite的房，後來Agent 說那是雙人床，要改Deluxe. 如不改，那更舒適了。

第一個下潛先在Koror附近潛wreck (Helmet wreck).那是艘日本戰艦, 剛發現10年, 還有些子彈留下, 不過已有很多給人偷了。

之後接了一對澳洲藉英國人來. 去了一個海底鐘乳洞這洞分開幾個Chambers。整個洞是頗大,可同時容納很多divers。看洞內的鐘乳石,可知水位在鐘乳石形成後升了幾米高。可惜洞內並沒有蝙蝠。

比較精彩的dive sites有, Blue corner, Blue Hole, Ulong Channel 及不可不到的 Jellyfish Lake.
在Blue corner 可看到很多Reef sharks, Eagle rays & Napolean wrasse. 在Blue corner,不知是我選了一非常正的位置落anchor,還是那Eagle ray 非常喜歡我,總是停在我前面不走.在旁邊的其他divers 恨得牙癢癢.
