Mnemba Island
Mnemba Island is the ultimate escape. Selected by Condé Nast Traveler as one of the three most romantic ocean destinations in the world, Mnemba surpasses all expectations. The island is an incomparable barefoot paradise: private cottages are hidden in the dappled shade. The soothing rhythms of tide and time will ease your entire being - mind, body and soul. |
JUVENILE RIBBON EEL
About thirty minutes into our dive this morning, I spotted a juvenile ribbon eel! I was extremely excited as they are quite uncommon, and this is only the third one that I have ever seen! The juveniles are black with a yellow stripe down their backs. The adult females are mostly yellow and the males are blue with a yellow face. They live in holes in the sand with the top portion of their bodies sticking out, and they are as thin as your little finger.
