Electric clams!

We are currently in Moalboal, a small village on the west side of Cebu Island. The beach is a hot spot for diving and we decided to dedicate a few days to this.

Went for two dives yesterday and two dives today, which means we are very hungry and very tired when we are done!

We have seen some pretty cool stuff so far: some turtles (one swimming right above us!), some colourful corals - blue and red, some pretty purple fish and one ugly grey frogfish that looked particularly grumpy.

On our last dive today we went about 19mt deep and our divemaster stopped in front of a cave. The cave was very dark and only small enough for 2divers so we took turn going in - while the other one was hanging around on the reef boulder looking at pretty fish!

The divemaster pointed at some red clams: when the flashlight shone on the clams you can see some kind of "electric current" going through the clam itself! It was weird and wonderful!

We have another dive tomorrow so looking forward to seeing some more underwater life!
