Most of my diving in Pemba was from Misali island, which as you can see is pretty nice, even above the water.
After spending far too long in Nairobi (mostly updating my website for the first time in 4 months), I eventually made my way to Pemba, also known as Scuba heaven.

A very arty shot of a very pretty starfish. (when you only get half of it in the frame, that counts as arty).
A Lion fish - Grrrrrr.
A conger Eel, being cleaned by a cleaner fish, with a sea cucumber in the background (these don't taste as good as terrestrial ones though).
Actually, it might be a Moray eel (which would explain why it wasn't dancing in a long line).
As you can see I'm a bit of an expert on aquatic fauna now.
A scorpion fish (I think).
The flash picks out the red, but it's much harder to see under water.
(Also, I can't take credit for this one as the Divemaster on this dive (Spec) took it.)
Some Clownfish (especially for Amber). Clownfish are actually very cool and lots of fun (though not very good at jokes apparently - that's a common misconception).
They are very playful however and will come and almost bite your fingers.
Headless divers convention.
