Survey #6 – Dive site: House Reef

Time in: 17:45 pm
Bottom time: 22 minutes
Max depth: 6.7 meters
Avg depth: 3.9 meters
Visibility: 10 meters
Water temperature: 30 Celcius

Algae everywhere! After 10 minutes of swimming and looking around, we decided to abort the survey because it was no point doing it. 80% of the corals are grown with algae and there were not much hard corals around. Belle did a good thing by picking up an empty cola can. Other than that, there wasn’t much to see.

Since the next day we had to check out early, this was the last dive of the trip.

Jgshuwei, full of energy still, went for a nite dive while we went back to our rooms and cleaned up.

It's not algae, it's button coral (Protopalythoa spp.). These fast growing coral has cover every inch of the dead hard corals and even the live ones. It's a chemical warfare down there. Both hard and soft corals are competing for sunlight for photosynthesis.
