8 Reasons to Dive the Alacrity Rocks

Thursday, June 3rd, 2010 by Clayton

As the camera fills up and files need to be deleted, the monthly cleansing can gobble up good photos hidden among many that are out of focus or of the lens cover or any other camera blunder that goes hand in hand with underwater photography.   As I was sifting through the memory card, I came across the photos below taken by Bruce and Teresa only 2 weeks ago.  Of 100+ photos, these 8 caught my eye and makes me wish I was diving every single day of the week.

If these critters don’t wet your appetite for diving, then you’ve probably already seen it all and need to sell your diving gear. Just kidding.

Anyways, Teresa took these photos with a Sea and Sea over 3 days of diving in the Alacrity Rocks region on the western side of the Astrolabe Reef in Fiji.

And yes, that is a huge octopus!

We’ve had these two videos sitting around on YouTube for a while, but since we saw Manta Rays on Monday and Tuesday as well as dolphins on Monday and Thursday, I felt like re-posting these two beauties.

First of all, thank you for such a fun time.  Scuba diving in Naiqoro Passage, swimming at the waterfall, snorkeling on the big reef, cutting a trail to the top of the mountain, jokes at dinner with Dave and Jeanie, the Mr. Happy shirt, my new hair cut, taking the chain saw into the bush, drinking kava and dancing in Narikoso Village, and all of the other fun times we shared for a short time here in Fiji.

A Crazy Day in Beqa Lagoon

Monday, April 5th, 2010 by Clayton

Bull sharks, Lemon sharks, Silver Tips, massive Trevally, a giant Cod. Only two words can describe this unbelievable sight--AWESOME and SURREAL.

Awesome to see natures furry and grace all wrapped into one event. And surreal for the two dives to be completely inaudible. Not being able to hear the chomping of Tuna heads or the swish of the water when the sharks darted for the food made Jason and I feel like we were watching TV instead of being meters away from the action.

I almost wanted to reach out and touch everything just to prove that it was real, but then I thought better….

Thankfully, I put a nice soundtrack to this mash up so turn up your speakers and enjoy.
