    Default We're at El Galleon Resort To Review Them

    We're at El Galleon Resort in LaLaguna, Mindoro at the moment and having a blast.

    Although it has been quite rainy this a.m. I ran across and shot some great HD video footage of a robust ghost pipefish at the wreck otf the Alma Jane in about 32 meters. There was a frogfish sitting on the mast yesterday but he wasn't around today.

    The food and friends here are great! When we get back we'll be working on a full written and photographic review.

    Will do BDMG.

    The robust ghost pipefish is still where we all saw it, so it is becoming an attraction. I saw a huge cuttlefish today, but he had no intention on letting me get close enough for some footage. That is probably how he got to be so big, lol.

    Here is a trick I read about somewhere, maybe even here. I don't know how true it is, but it is worth a try.

    Supposedly if you run your fingers through your hair from the back of your head (so your hand is not seen), the cuttlefish will get interested and react by not only sticking around, but flashing colors. I know it sounds odd, but I think the flowing hair in the water gets it's attention. Obviously you need to have somewhat longer hair for this to work, but mabe you can improvise with something if you have to. Maybe some streamer like from an old school bicycle handlebar.

    Hope it helps, if so I expect to see some video. I also hope you are having a great time and it sounds like you are.

    Ace, I always have a blast here. Although the rain and visibility has not been accomodating, I just shot some awesome super macro HD video just an hour ago of two different types of tiny shrimp on a tube anemone.
