 The walls at Enigan
Island are spectacular and the dive group is treated to a fair
amount of shark action. The walls are loaded with huge fan
coral and thousands of reef fish of every variety pan for the
cameras.Captain Masi tells us that he has seen a blip in
the lagoon that looks like a wreck but hasn't had an
opportunity to investigate it yet ... next trip maybe?
We're happily back at Tufa Island for the night and the
wind appears to be subsiding a bit. Two divers decide to
explore the fringing reef at Tufa and return to report that it
is an excellent dive even at dusk when the sharks can get a
little frisky. Our fishing friends have delivered a good size
Dogtooth tuna and we enjoy sashimi and sunset. |
thunderheads appear in the
distance. Curls of white break on the shallow reef that
fringes the protected cove. The tops of tall palms are a
moving photo on the background of the approaching storm. It
sounds dire but is actually good news for our group - the wind
has shifted to a direction that is favorable for a dive on the
wall at Enigan Island and Kaeroga Pass. The fishing
guide, Leigh Tobin, arrives in a small boat for a fishing
excursion. He has a reputation for bringing in big fish and
produced the first Rongelap Flush in last year's Bill Fishing
tournament. We have high hopes for the sunset ritual this
evening.
