Meeting over soft corals
|
|
Soft corals are an order of corals which do not produce calcium carbonate skeletons. The corals contain minute, spiny skeletal elements called sclerites, useful in species identification.
Soft corals are very sensible, we divers have to take much care not to touch them, which isn't easy as it looks like. UW currents sometimes push divers onto the rocks and corals.

Scorpion fish

Can you recognize the scorpion fish?
Some types, such as the lionfish, are attractive as well as dangerous, and highly desired for private aquaria.

It took about one hours to pick up our passports we had to leave in the office of the immigration. Our dear Burmesian liaison officer got off board to Kaw Thaung.

There are thousands Burmesian "Guest"-workers doing hard job underpaid and mistreated from unscrupulous dirty business men.
