Malapascua trip

I've just returned from a very enjoyable diving trip in Malapascua, the Philippines with the Pretty Lady and some other friends (CW, KY, FZ and the Divernator). I saw thresher sharks (ticking one item off my shark to-see list), a blue ringed octopus, sea snakes, decorator crabs, some sort of (big) moray buried in the sand, filefish displaying, mandarin fish mating and mantis shrimp.

Less enjoyably, I got stung by jellyfish 6 times, missed a mola-mola and a manta ray by 2 minutes on 2 separate dives, and was given a nasty shock when someone went dynamite fishing nearby. More conservation, eat less seafood please.
