Scuba loopy! I love this place.

OH my god!! Now I know what they've been going on about for so long - I have just been scuba diving on the most amazing coral reef.

I saw the ENTIRE cast of Finding Nemo... in fact a little clown fish came up and nipped at my mask!

I saw rubbery coral, hairy coral, luminous blue coral, purple blobby coral, coral of every different colour and texture....and fish!!

Oh! So many different kinds! Sea urchins with 10 inch spines, with electric blue and red eyes that blinked at you as you swam over.

I held a sea cucumber, and tapped giant clams; I could hardly believe what I was seeing. Sometimes it was hard to remember to breathe it was so exciting.

(Also, superb views above the water too.... this chap just stripped down to his Calvins and jumped in to do free diving. I happened to catch him on film whilst trying to photograph the stunning coastline you understand. Twice.)

And it was so easy!! - others had ear pain, mask trouble, trouble breathing, hassle getting in and out, but everything was perfect for me - I cant' believe I have been missing this all my life! I MUST go again. This really is the most beautiful place I have ever been, both below and above the sea.

A cable car connects the mainland with another island - the longest cable car over water in the world. The beaches are clean, the people are friendly, the town is small, nothing costs too much money and ... well I could go on and on.

We chugged into port past the little floating fish farms (everything here is really fresh... if you cant' get it on a motor bike, you can't get it at all.)

Anyway - if you ever wonder where to go for a holiday, come here.
