I'm in a place called Labuan Bajo, in Flores island. Is a small town and there's nothing to see here... but after a couple of hours by boat, there's an amazing world under the water. There's a lot of "big fish", like dolphins, napoleon fish, tuna... and sharks!!
I've booked a "3 days diving pack" (yesterday, today and tomorrow). At the moment, I've seen maybe 18 dolphins (always from the boat... I was not in the water at the moment... fuck!) a couple of Napoleons, a few tuna, a lot of different "big fish" (I can't remember the names...) and maybe 8 or 10 sharks! One of them was swimming at no more than 10 meters from us... is a special sensation... but the instructor has gived us a "pre diving" biology brieffing, and she explain us that sharks are not used to be dangerous, but they have a very bad reputation... (too much moovies... my friend!).
I have also seen a tourtle. Was a young tourtle, maybe 60 cm from the head to the tale, and she was swimming in front of us... I love them! I've dived close her (not nearest than 5 meters, to not get her scared), and is lovely to see how they swim... slowly... slowly... it's a sweet moment... my favourite moment under the water is when I'm watching tourtles... I hope to see more tomorrow!
Tomorrow, before diving, I'll go to Rinca island (between Komodo island and Labuan Bajo town). Komodo island gives the name to the dragon, but in Rinca island there's more of them and everyone who I've asked before told me that it's better than Komodo island, so tomorrow, before diving, I'll go there to make a 2 hours walking tour. I hope to see them. I hope to take goooood pictures there! People who was diving with me today explain me that 2 days before they had seen how a dragon haunts a bear... they say that was like being into the TV docummental!!!
Well... I will try to upload again the blog after with new pictures of Komodo dragons...
PD: Jason.. can you see what I'm holding on my hand in a picture of me diving????
