I finally turned 40 in July (surely a typo I hear you ask?)I chartered the Black Manta for the weekend and we headed off to Aur and Jack Rock.Safety was already a priority. Here, Ernie checks out the lifeboats... It's also important to stay properly hydrated...

With the recent problems that our preferred dive boat, White Manta, encountered with the Indonesian authorities last year, another year passed without me seeing a whale shark. The declining numbers of the world's largest fish, and the reduction in size of those seen (indicating that breeding females are being fished out) moved CITES to post a complete ban on the trade in Whale shark products. It

Well, it's all over. But my god, it was fantastic! Back from French Polynesia where I experienced some of the most breathtaking diving ever. We started in Papeete, Tahiti. We only had a day there, so time for one dive in the afternoon. As we moored the boat at the line, a pod of spinner dolphins came by and one treated us to a trademark acrobatic spinning leap from the water. Under the

I managed to destroy half the blog recently... as there have been no updates for a while I'm going to put the Grey Reef Sharks form Kuredu Express, Maldives back in. I've also added an area for feedback - click 'Comments' at the bottom of the post to add something... and keep 'em clean fellas, please!

Over Golden week in Japan (a quiet time at work) we visited Malapascua Island, north of Cebu, Philippines. It was 5am starts in an effort to see the Thresher Sharks who visit a cleaning station at Monad Shoal. The macro stuff as also good, particularly around Gato Island. My thanks to Gareth for shooting the stills with my P9 while I lugged the video camera around. Many thanks also to Duncan, Vic

On Easter Monday we dived at the Aquarium in Sentosa. There you cound see a friendly Dugong... ...or a nasty Bullshark! Prior to that we had been back to Pulau Aur. The Bumphead Parrot fish were more friendly than usual (to us, maybe not the coral) Also munching away on polyps was this Crown of Thorns Starfish

The Singapore dive season is with us once more. After a relatively uneventful trip to Pulau Aur early in the season, we were amongst the first people to visit Kuantan Wreck. This was to be my first trip aboard the MV Vincent, having made several trips aboard Vincent Chew's excellent 'White Manta' (www.whitemanta.com). We left Newton Circus around 8pm, arriving in Mersing close to midnight. Once
