Giant Clams

We went back down to "rocky beach" today and I had much more success diving! In fact, I had two firsts - navigating myself and my dive buddy on our own dive (a bit pressured but successful!) and seeing giant clams!
On the banca ride to the clam site Paul told us the clams were 20-30 feet. I said, "Wow! That really is a giant clam". Sarah said "No. That's how deep they are." We all had a good laugh on me. I wish I had an underwater camera though, to show you the clams as they were pretty amazing. They were about 1/2 metre across. I also saw the most beautiful formations of coral in a lovely brown and white colour that made me think of autumn.
The fish are used to being fed so came and swam up close.
I love the creativity of God
