Masaplod North dive site. What it looks like facing north.
This marine reserve is probably a thousand square meters right beside the beach. It's probably deepest at 18 meters. We saw garden eels, rays, various anemone, etc. We were taunted by trigger fish which sent me running out of the water!

Hidden Manta -- we saw a lot of these, I think they're blue-spotted but I'm not sure, they're mostly covered with sand. I just noticed this while uploading the pics, is it normal for them to have that black and white tail?
Anemone Gathering -- different anemone gathered in a small group
Not Your Regular Anemone Fish -- even while it sure doesn't look like a regular "nemo-like" anemone fish, this little dude swam in anemone like it didn't know better.
Neon Bulb -- Is this an anemone? Is it called inside-out anemone? Or maybe arinola anemone?
Shrimp on a Bulb -- transparent shrimp
Predator Shrimp -- because they're transparent/translucent like in the movie...
Dancing Shrimp -- this little critter kept swaying it's butt at me like it was chanting "nah-nah, nah-nah, you can't get me, nah-nah", maybe because it was on that hard-coral-looking thing that is supposed to be highly caustic when touched
WiFi Clam -- it's a clam with something growing on its shell that looks like an antenna for wifi. Note the spotty marking on its meat
No-WiFi Clam -- it's a clam without the protruding antenna, instead it has that yellow clingy-looking stuff. Note the striped markings on its meat
Picasso Fish -- what else is there to say? It's not polite to stare?
Yellow-lipped blue-outlined rectangular dotted fish with yellow-tipped upper fin -- I think I'll call this one "George".
