November Recap - Diving the Pelican Reserve

The Brown Pelican Fledgling Area, commonly called Pelican Reserve, is completely closed from January 1st through October 31st. 
Every year we look forward to diving this special site. Since this area is open for diving only during November and December, and it's closed to hunting (except lobsters), it's a very pristine dive site. We saw so many huge shepheads and calico bass. This year, we got to dive there twice. On November 30th trip, some of us were on a mission: find and photograph the orange throat pikeblenny! It's a very small, very well camouflaged fish we have previously seen at Pelican Reserve. We had our best critter finders, Megumi and Haruka, on this mission. They came back to report sightings of several pikeblennies!

This is a a special two-part dive & eco trip. Both parts of this expedition will be co-hosted by Ocean Safari’s resident macro photography enthusiast and nudibranch geek, Megumi Itoh.
Anilao is often described as a paradise for underrwater photographers. Located in the Coral Triangle and having been a protected marine area since the 1970’s, Anilao is known for the beautiful reefs and incredible marine biodiversity.
For part two of our expedition, we will head to Okinawa for three days of diving at Yonaguni Underwater Monument and then eco adventure at Iriomote-Ishigaki National Park.
