This one I really didn't care much for. It's a cave with air
pockets. You enter at about 15 feet, drop down to 30 and then come up to
the first air pocket. My ears did NOT appreciate that. So for the other
three pockets I was hanging out below and there really wasn't much to do
or see in that cave.

Unbelievable dive. Dozens and dozens of shark. Very close by. Also a bunch of grouper. Got some amazing pictures.
The idea had been to drift along the channel, but with all the shark we literally stayed put for 70 minutes. We sat at the entrance to the Ulong channel and simply didn't move. Even sitting in the sand for a while.

What a difference compared to the first time we did this dive two days ago. Strong current. We were flying like kites. It was an amazing dive.
Awesome.

Divi Flamingo House Reef
Linus
We came back from the boat ride and were planning a dive 3 from the pier.
Linus overheard two other divers talk about seeing the octopus out and about right by the pier. We went in as quickly as reasonable and within a few minutes Linus found the octopus.
And we then hung out with it for 1h45min. In the end it crawled under a steel H beam. Oh well, we completed the 2h for our longest dive ever.
What was interesting was that a fish was hanging out with the octopus. It would not leave. The almost seemed like buddies, hunting together. Pretty amazing.
