One of the best parts of being home
Getting to have meetups and Lunch with Friends! Lovely Lorise and I enjoyed a leisurely catch up and yummy summer slim salads at the The Cheesecake Factory!
Raja Ampat is truly a diver and snorkeler paradise! Soooo many fish and corals everywhere you look!
Seeing an Octopus on this trip is one of my goals. So far, I have seen two reef octopus hiding in holes on the reef slopes. But I really want to see one in motion, like this video below by Evan Johnston (follow him on Instagram at of___earth ). Evan is an Irish marine biologist, free diver/ scubadiver, instructor and talented underwater videographer. He has been at the Resort for the last 6 weeks taking video, for their future marketing and gave me this video for inspiration!
The Reefs of Raja Ampat are stunning and teaming with wildlife. The guides are super knowledgable of the 35 different dive / snorkel sites that surround the Resort. The guides get such joy in sharing it all with us and point out some of the most unique and tiniest of it's creatures.
