As I didn't get to go for a dive on the weekend and don't have an interesting story to tell, I'd thought I'd show this picture I took in the Philippines in 2004. This gorgonian fan coral was huge. At a guess, believe it or not, it would have been about 3meters (10feet) from top to bottom. The dive was at Pescador Island off Moalboal. I've never seen a fan coral so big...ever, or in such good condition. I had to use a wide angle lens to get this shot, and even using a wide angle, the shot was taken well back from the fan coral. I don't rate myself as a photographer, but I was extremely impressed with this shot. Probably because I know how big the fan coral really is. Hope you all enjoy this photo!!!
