The Two Bommies, sometimes called the Twin Bommies, is not surprisingly, a pair of bommie reefs right next to each other. The site is obviously selected for the diversity of marine life: we saw the usual coloured damsels, idols, coral trout, unicorn fish, sea bream, hog fish, the trumpetfish and a number of batfish. The dive started with these clearfin squirrelfish.
A very scenic dive, and a great introduction to Vanuatu waters.
Plenty of Diana’s Hogfish
Longfin bannerfish..
Coral trout…
We were a mixed group of expert and novice divers and snorkelers. The snorkelers were easily able to explore the nearby rocky shores and reefs of Ifiri Island whilst we had a very scenic dive below. Though the snorkeller guide came down to 13m to see how the dive was going!
Orangespine unicornfish not the twin scalpels.
and the trumpetfish.
There were nudis too, like this Swollen Phyllidia.
- There had been a coral spawning event the night before. So the coral must be in reasonable shape.
