| Cham Island |
TUESDAY 26 JULY 2011
Two Danish girls and I were picked up at my hotel by taxi to go diving. We were taken to the harbour where we got on a boat for an hour’s ride out to the Cham Islands.
My Dive Leader was Dino from Australia, who gave an excellent briefing. We did 2 hour-long dives, with an hour’s break in between. There was some beautiful coral in all colours, including jet black, and about 50 species of fish. We saw 3 moray eels which were more colourful than the ones I’ve seen before and the biggest octopus I have ever seen. Dino was very excited when we saw the biggest grouper I have ever seen – about 5 ft., as he has been looking for it for about 2 months.
We then went to the main island and some of us swam ashore from the boat where we had an excellent lunch and an hour’s siesta in the hammocks before swimming back to the boat.
I decided to add an extra night but was told by the staff that they may be full and I had to wait until tomorrow. So I booked through ‘Agoda’ which was cheaper and I could pay by UK credit card. I then went out for another excellent Hoi An dinner.

ReplyDeleteLooks amazing. Any pictures of the octopus? Would love to know what Pat is 'saying'!!
ReplyDeleteI know - it's in Welsh. I don't have an underwater casing for my camera any more - it's on the 'to buy' list
