CDF’2008: A Ray-mazing dive at Animal Encouters
Diving like in a supermarket – this is how you could discribe the fish pool at Animal Encounters in the Sea Aquarium Curacao. In the little bay you can find stingrays, tarpons, goliath grouper and many more. The animals have ample space and are very friendly. Read on for pictures and review ...
We went in together with the dive instructor Naomi – she took a little box of bait with her. Already when we entered, it was quite obvious, that all animals knew already, what's gonna happen. Naomi almost instantly dissappeared under 6 Stingrays – only when they started being less hungry, we could start taking pictures. They all still have their sting, but one of them ever uses it – rather they give a little bite, when they think your finger is a fish, but nothing serious. They are really very friendly ...
Under water the usual photo problems were upside down: instead of trying to get big fish in the viewfinder, it was rather the problem to isolate some of them in a frame. It was a absolutely crazy experience, that we highly reccomend. Thank you to the whole team at Ocean Encounters!
