Lankayan Island, Sulu sea, South China Sea

Il y a tres peu de temps, je ne connaissais pas l'existence de la mer de Sulu.

The sea is rough, the trip last almost three hours instead in the one and a half expected, the boat has to slow down, children are sick, the little one give back to the sea his chocolate ice cream he had while waiting to leave Sandakan jetty, we all just don't want to get there anymore, Rosa a fellow diver is persuaded the boat is going to capsize.

At last, a tiny round island appears in the deep blue sea, on the jetty the staff is greeting us with cherry welcoming wishes.

As soon as he sets foot on the jetty Nicolas feels better, hand in hand, we walk joyfully along the wooden jetty when

the first shark come along to see who are the new guests on his island.

Nicolas is not sick anymore and we are all very exited.

Exited indeed and all for the good.

This is Paradise here, even the waitress name is Angel and we get miracles all the time.

A turtle lay her eggs, early in the morning while we were all sleeping, under our chalet,

104 heavy tennistable eggs.

Blak tip fin sharks are playing around us when we walk along the beach.

It is also called the reef shark, It lives around coral reefs. It is fairly harmless, but has been known to bite people wading in shallow water.

Good we weren't aware of that at hat moment, because we were always wading in shallow water.

I am not showing off my new fins too long, I am in a hurry to swimm with the green turtle.

Two clown fishes are hiding and playing in the anemones, a lonely lionfish hides behind a pier at the jetty.

The sting ray shows herself to Anna and Jacques, I didn't get to admire it.

Look at the corral white color of the sand.

Monsieur Garden couldn't get out of the water, he is usually not very kean at swimming.

It is like swimmming in a giant aquarium, thousands of small and big fishes are looking for food, bright greens, shiny blues, striped, alone or in big groups, they are a marvellous views to remember forever.
