Would you like some more nudibranchs?
ENSince I've been in Siquijor, I've been diving and snorkelling every day... Yesterday, our guide, Neal, took us to discover the depths of Salagdoong Beach, a beach I'd already explored on the "land" side during my trip to Siquijor. motorcycle ride last week.
The dive is done along a small sloping drop-off, where coral groves alternate with sandy passages.
There's a lot of life here. I gorge myself on nudibranchs, those colorful little sea slugs that make a great subject for macro photography. 😊
I even caught two of them copulating! To see nudibranchs mating, it's not a common sight...
I also saw the much sought after Mandarin fishI saw a small orange and blue fish, but so shy that I did not have time to try to take a picture of it... It quickly went back to hiding under the coral when I approached it.
Maybe I'll have more luck this afternoon, with the house-reef from the Kiwi dive center, the reef just off the beach, which I haven't explored yet. Neal has promised me more mandarin fish... We'll see!
Between the dives, the motorcycle rides, the tricycle rides in Larena (where there is the internet center that allows me to publish some posts on the blog) and the naps in the hammock, I really don't see the time passing... I'm heading on Monday to Dumaguete and Dauin, on Negros Island, just across the road.
Objective: to dive (again), in particular on the reef of the islet of Apo, one of the most famous sites of the area.
Yes, I'd love some more...nudibranchs!
Magnificent photos, their seduction plays to the full, and I hope that the Apo Island site will live up to its reputation, but, if it wasn "t, who cares, everything is so beautiful, intrinsically beautiful,...besos, mam.
Obviously, you have easy access to internet in the Philippines, how do you proceed? Internet cafe…?
For photos, continue, they are suberbes !!
Hi the queen of the nudibranchs,
After a terrible trip to Madrid, where I immersed myself in the Movida over tapas and excellent red wines, I'm reconnecting with your travel blog. From what I can see, it's not boring. I wonder if we'll be seeing you again in the editorial office and if you'll be staying over there! In any case, we read your adventures with passion and we could almost feel thousands of kilometers away from Rennes. And your photos are superb. Yes, they are. When I think that here, it's the municipal candidates who are in front of our lenses! Life's too hard.
A + and continues to amaze us. Hugs.
A big thank you to all for your flattering comments on my photos ... It's a lot of fun!
To Mam: I'll be diving in Apo probably the day after tomorrow... I'll be able to tell you more then.
To Laurence: Yes, you can easily find internet centers or cafes in the Philippines, at least in the areas I've been to. It's trouble-free and high-speed in most major cities. Or in resorts and hotels, but in that case, very often, like me tonight, the connection can be spotty or very slow... See you soon on Plongeur.com! (If you want more details about the diving aspect of the trip, send me an email in "Contact").
At Sam: Nice little comment!!! I hope you brought us back some chorizo. And I still haven't managed to taste the Filipino chorizo... I think that after having succeeded with the seahorse-pygmy and the mandarin fish photos, I should be up to speed with those of our candidates! 😉

Hello Corinne,
I took the liberty of copying your article from a Viadeo HUB entitled: LIVING IN BALI.
A reader answers you, and I must send you his comment.
See you soon maybe.

Hello Corinne,
we were very inspired by your travels in Asia to organize our trip this summer (Sipadan, Bali, Manado, Bunaken, Togians over 4 weeks)! It was like "and Titbulle, what does she say about this Hotel?" or "Titbulle says that diving-wise, the Togians aren't as good as Bunaken!" ... In short, a big thank you for this wonderful blog that really makes you want to travel.

@ Vincent:
Hello, thank you for forwarding this user's reply to me. What's a shame is that he's writing to me on your forum, to which I don't contribute, as if he were addressing me directly... It would probably be a good idea to clarify things for your visitors, and in particular to tell Olivier to write to me directly on my blog. https://petitesbullesdailleurs.fr/petitesbullesdailleurs

I'm currently in Bali and can't really take the time to log on to Viadeo to see how the articles are going, but I'll get back to you when I get back.
@ Olivier: Thanks for the wink. I wish you an excellent stay in Asia!!!

Hello !
Congratulations for your site, it is splendid. Your nudibranch on photo # 2 (white, yellow and black with vesicles) looks like a Phylidia Verrucosa.
good bubbles:)
@Jul: I'm glad you like the site! I admit I'm a bit "lazy" when it comes to finding the names of nudis, there are so many! But this one is quite common in Asian waters. I come across it often.
Good bubbles too, I see on your photo album that you have made beautiful encounters in Egypt ... Superb!
