The "Beast" has gone ! (we think) But say "Hi" to "Elvis" and "The Ghost" After no sightings for almost nine months, we now believe the "Beast", our resident forty-something kilo grouper at "Dicks Point", has died of old age or become  a trophy for some moronic spearfisherman. There is some consolation however as we have seen "Elvis", the 35m (deep) resident of The Abyss at Esparta island, a lot recently and he is actually as big or even possibly bigger than "The Beast".  Below, a rare shot of the "Ghost" at the Haystack.

Bad Weather Shore Dive Site - not just for Bad Weather!

Cala Olivera, our fail-safe dive site on the east of Ibiza, which affords us calm clear conditions when its blowing a hooly on our side and offers an easy, big, bright cavern dive at 18m, has become quite a regular feature on our dive programme.  Apart from being a beautiful scenic dive, it makes a pleasant change from "boating it".

The course just took a peek at the drop off at Dicks Point. The verdict:- "Awesome!"

"Now you see it,     Now you don't" The wreck of the EC-DRC that crash landed off Cala Tarida, was towed away by a glass bottom boat soon after these photos were taken

The pilot cheated death and walked (swam) away with minor injuries after ditching in the sea. He crashed a similar publicity towing aircraft in a field in San Rafael last year and has since been given the nickname 'lucky'.

This is what we saw on the way to the dive site !!!    a SunFish,                  Poisson de lune (Moonfish),                  or whatever you want to call                  it, almost 2 metres from                  head to tail, we snorkelled                  around this giant for 20                  mins on the surface before                  it got bored with us.

New Dive Sites Isla Redonda Este (East Round Island) out on the Bledas outer islands, is one of our latest additions to our long list of dive sites. Starting on a clear white spit of rock,  you descend from 6m slowly down to 15m on the south side glancing into the hundreds of cracks and fissures that host morays, octopus and a thousand different types of crab. The viz is astounding due to it being about 7nm from the main island. There are two underwater "humps" further past the island to the east which look interesting but are as yet unexplored.

Its taken me almost !0 years and many attempts to get a photo of wild dolphins like this.

Not a pipe. Thats the prop shaft!
