The joint pain on my foot has been bothering me for a week now and today I felt a slightly better. An irresistible urge to dive came up. I took a few ibuprofen and headed to the shores. It was a Tuesday night. The V street was packed with divers. I waited quite a while before finding a parking spot on the other side of the street. From afar, the sea looked calm and beautiful.
I dropped off way north but in the shallow sandy bottom. The condition was stellar – fantastic visibility and calm water. As soon as I dropped down, I spotted a pair of pipe fish right next to me. In most encounters, I skipped taking pictures of them because their slim body is hard to focus. But this pair was different. They had a golden outfit, shinning brightly.
Initially, they hang on the grass. When I approached, they started moving down from the grass to the sandy floor. Interestingly, one fish swam slowly away from me but the other approaching me fast. I guess the fast-approaching one was trying to protect the other from any potential harm.
While watching the pipe fish, I was distracted by a sand crab, who just caught an eel. The poor eel was still alive in the crab’s claws, its body twisting.
Despite the struggle, there was no signs of release from the crab.
Speaking of predators and prays, a sea anemone near the patch was another example. While shining the light of this creature, the cone of light attracted a large school of krill. The sea anemone, which was swinging leisured with the current, instantly became charged.
All the tentacles waving fast, extending out and bending back, transporting newly caught krill to the mouth. The appearance of the sea anemone, its state of vegetation, is deceiving.
Toward south close to the patch, the muddy slope was packed with stingrays. During the other time of the year, it’s not common to see stingrays in this area. Just like bat rays, they forage on the mud, digging food, and when they leave, the leave a curator behind.
Past the crab patch, the encounters are not out of ordinary, such as this spotted triopha.
This octopus caught my attention because of its flamboyant outfit.
Surprisingly, there were so many adult horn sharks near the canyon. They are cruising the canyon wall. On particular shark was hanging near the edge of the wall, sticking half of its body out.
From the V point, I started heading back. At about 15 ft water, the moon light was so bright that I could see the bottom of the ocean without my dive light. Then a baby bat ray appeared. Usually, the bat ray was shy. You can follow them a little while but once they notice the presence of a diver they sprint away. But this one let me follow for a long time.
Trying not to scare the bat ray, I stayed a bit higher in the water column and looked down. The undulating waves for a moment created sand ripples on the ocean floor but for another moment erased them all. The bat ray was small, the body was in a sheen of gold color and its tiny body against the ocean floor. Its path zigzagged as the surge pushed its tiny body back and forth. However, the flapping of its wings were fast, maintaining a steady course forward.
