Friday we went out to Apo Island for three dives. These were wide angle dives on beautiful coral reefs. Below are some photos from these dives, to see the rest, please go to: https://photos.app.goo.gl/j9PZdmn1wg3JDmLRA Beautiful reefs, below:

Beautiful corals. I'm very pleased to see large expanses of healthy coral not yet impacted by marine heatwaves and coral bleaching from our continued reckless, ruinous, rapacious, homicidal consumption of fossil fuels.

Tomorrow is my last two dives, critter/muck dives with my 60 mm Canon macrolens, then I board Atlantis Azores for a 17 day expedition that will include Whale Sharks and, hopefully, Thresher Sharks which I've never seen diving before.
