Dive 235, Silver Valley, Coin de Mire, Mauritius, 17/08/2014

In 09:49, dive time 51 minutes, max depth 21 metres.

With a reluctant Irina, lovely dive gradually descending among corals, lots of nudibranchs, picaso & pipe fish. At first rather a strong current, but Irina towed by our DM. Tame Titan Triggerfish allows to be stroked by Irina! White coral with chocolate velvet centre, soft fish-egg like corals (pearl bubble coral) - lots to see. Unfortunately Irina sick at surface, so skips next dive. I'm feeling much happier diving today than last 2 dives! Too long out of the water! Large (Javanese?) & small moray . Fluted giant clam, throny oyster, & several large crown-of-thorns. Also lobster. Very enjoyable dive.
