One Dive Log in “Ko Yawabon”

  1. Was diving the cave twice in november/ early december 2013.
    No current, pretty good visibility, a damn good dive guide made it a unique experience. Saw leopard shark sharing his ‘home’ (the corner he was in) with a muray, a blue dotted manta. And in the far left a corner with more than a dozend lobster.
    Close to the cave’s end there is a sort of dome so you can go up the surface here, fresh air comes in. And a spooky effect causes some ten-second-fog occurences, amazing.
    When redoing the cave two weeks later all written above was the same.
    My kind dive guide gave me the pics he shot on our first dive, see my website for a best-of of these.
