The
Western Rocky Islands
|

Western
Rocky lies just a few short hours from
Victoria Point, part of our south Burma
excursions.
The
Rocky islands consists of a main rock
and some boulders on a sandy bottom.
|
The
highllight at this rock is a huge arch
and a penetrating cave/tunnel creating
a passage through the island to the other
side, where sometimes a huge nurse shark
is acting like a watch dog, he should
not be pushd away, like we have seen
now on many occassions by divers from
other boats where this is obviously is
not emphasiesed enough during the dive
briefing given.
There
is a second cave at the east side,
providing shelter for many crustaeceans.
The
shallow part sourounding the rock boasts
colourfull softcorals, creating an
impression of taking a bath in a rainbow.
Nudibranches are ther to watch as well.
