Comments	On this two-dive excursion in Kosrae, I saw more varieties of tropical fish –– like of Parrotfish, Angel Fish, Saddle Wrasses, Pearl Wrasses, Spotted Trunkfish, Butterfly Fish, Moorish Idols, and Clark’s Anemonefish ––t han I’d seen in two decades of diving in the tropics. The highlight of this dive was a small octopus that I saw climbing over a coral head, seeking shelter with a stick of coral in one of its tentacles. As we watched, it camouflaged itself. Doug Beitz, my Aussie divemaster and co-owner of the Kosrae Nautilus Resort who has lived on this Micronesia island for 7.5 years said, “I learned to dive here, became an instructor here, and choose to live here because this island offers more variety, great visibility, warm water, easy diving for any level, and extremely short boat rides to the sites.”

UW Photo Comments	I brought my Sea & Sea film camera while the divemaster had his digital camera. He was extremely accommodating to take photos of me above and below water, and shared his shots of flat worms, turtles, octopi, tropical fish, and the rainbow of 200+ indigenous corals.
