Island Dancer Captains Report
19th 26th May, 2012
ISLAND DANCER II
1300 hrs: we welcomed our guest onboard the M.Y Island Dancer with a big BulaVvinaka. Soon as the guesst got onboard they were taken into their cabins and prepared themselves for departure.
Lunch was prepared and we got straight into the intro, then the main engines were started and we departed the pier for Makogai islands.
The weather had overcast and we had rain at times, but moderate seas as we headed to Makogai for our first day of diving.
MAKOGAI ISLAND

Smiling Clam
Dive Sites:
Clam Rock
Dominos
Christine
Half Pipe
We did our check out dive at Clam Rock in a protected area where there was no current and the divers were able to adjust weights and set their B.C.D according to their liking
Diving on the first day was awesome as our divers were happy to be in the water after sometime. They got to see soft and hard corals, anthias, clown and triggerfish, etc and on top of the bommies we also saw giant clams.
NAMENA ISLAND

We dropped our divers in a new dive site and they loved the whole reef system because it was so rich and healthy with loads of staghorn coral, whip coral and soft coral. The visibility was so clear and you could see to 80 plus feet.

Awesome diving this morning as divers make use of the last dive on offer during this trip. They got to see lots of cool stuff as they saw sea snakes, mantas and thousands of little critters and lots and lots of fish.
After the diving, D.M Moses cleaned the dive gear and dried it out as our guest enjoyed a hot breakfast.
In the evening our traditional B.B.Q was prepared for the guest with chicken, sausage and fish along with potato salad and veggies, etc yum yum
