Saturday afternoon, my three friends and I spent an afternoon spearfishing on the back side of Saipan which was breath taking. Nice sized Hangon (orangespine unicornfish), Tataga (bluespine unicornfish), and some Hiyuk (Bluebanded surgeonfish). The next day, Sunday, a couple of my friends and I tried the waters of Obyan beach. From diving two opposite sides of the island of Saipan, one can compare the characterisitcs of particular fish. For example, the unicorn fish were easy to target on the back side while the palaksi were nearly impossible. At Obyan beach, the palaksi were the ones easily targeted while the unicorn fish were difficult. Leave me some comments on the photos! Enjoi:)

This is a mix of photos from thursday and photos today. The whole morning, i was helping my uncle smoke some meat which i was not able to take some pictures of. the rest was at jefferys beach saipan. My boss Peter Houk and friend John Starmer decided to get our spears wet since the conditions were pretty good. We did some damage at back side saipan with some nice sized fishes. Defintely a better day than lau lau:)

The most recent time I went spearfishing at night, two of my friends and I decided to go spear during the day that the solar eclipse happened. we thought that maybe the tides would be messed up, but obviously the catch was the total opposite:)

It appears that I have been having some trouble with technology. One, my computer power cord just died a couple days ago resulting in me not having access to Photoshop or my pictures. Two, my camera appears to be having some trouble as well. In result, I will be posting up some art work I have done on photoshop. Till then my friends:)!

While spending the day at work counting sea cucumbers, i discovered that the reefs up north are very vibrant and alive. If your are ever in the vicinity of Marpi, Saipan, put on a snorkel and check out wing beach. The structure of the reef consists of like shallow reefs to pockets within the reef where ecosystems are sustained. Here are some things I came across. Enjoy:)
