Peter Bilton, an expert in South Asia travel, introduces us to the world of great dive sites in the Indian Ocean.

i thought my daughter would never stop staring at the monitor! she came out from behind me & saw this post. she just looooooves scenes of fish swimming in the ocean. i think this photo also reminded her of dory in the disney movie, nemo.

A wall dive. Entering from the boat you drop down to 14 m along a small coral reef on the slope. To the right runs a wall (depth over 40 m), to the left the small coral reef continues, with hard, soft and table corals, (maximum depth 24 m). The marine life is excellent with the occasional turtle, tuna, parrotfish, barracuda, angelfish, scorpion fish, butterfly fish, sweetlips and many kinds of triggerfish. Conditions are generally easier here than at The Canyon but you can still expect to encounter surge and sometimes strong down currents. On the gentle slope at northeast Tepekong is a small, shallow (10 m), semi-protected, rocky reef with bommies.
wow.. can't say to anything else.. those nemos are beautiful.
