The Year of the Pig Starts with an Amazing Myanmar Diving Cruise
The Year of the Pig started with a very nice cruise in the Burmese waters!
We celebrated this event with Eliane, Michel and Markus from Switzerland; Christian from Germany; Michael from Great Britain; Peter from Australia; and a charter from Singapore with Rafi, Nizlan, Caelan, Denis, Anthony, Nico, Windy, Simon and Marcel.
The Year of the Pig started well on the MV Smiling Seahorse!
Huge schools of fish everywhere
What will remain in our memories from this trip was the amazing, huge schools of fish everywhere…
From bannerfish to bigeye trevallies, through barracudas, fusiliers, batfish, snappers…
Longfin angelfish, fusiliers, trevallies and batfish — just some of the fish filling the Burmese reefs.
Even though we don’t have any pictures, some of us had the pleasure of meeting a whale shark underwater, while others encountered an eagle ray or a huge marbled ray!
In the meantime, we were spoiled with tiny, smaller stuff!
Beautiful nudibranchs, flatworms and ghost pipefish
Beautiful nudibranchs and flatworms first…
Beautiful nudibranchs and a colourful flatworm — exactly the kind of tiny subjects that keep macro photographers busy.
Ghost pipefish of every colour!
With a lot of juvenile ones!
Baby marine life and macro treasures
We had the pleasure of encountering lots of babies!
In the macro field…
Sometimes the smallest creatures make the biggest impression.
Shrimps of every kind!
And the gobies — we don’t notice them that much, but they are so cute!
Our favourite little creatures
In the middle of it all, our favourite ones were still there 😉
An awesome portrait…
An awesome portrait.
Splendid corals!
It’s not only about diving…
It’s not only about diving…
Look at these local life scenes 🙂
And the gorgeous sunrises and sunsets!
And as a consequence of all of this… look at the smiles!
And that is what a great Burma diving trip looks like!
