Puig de Ros, scarce fishing day...

Puig de Ros is an easy area to fish, maybe not for immersions as it is not very deep - about 8/9 meters on top. It's got plenty of rocks to check below out and a few caves to go under and out. 

It's not been a thriving fishing day, but we could sight a murena and some small groupers.

...and finally we found an octopus... only to small to be shot...

Walking and hiking in Costa Brava

The path from Platja d'Aro to Sant Antoni de Calonge...

The path offers many tunnels to walk in, besides that, if you dare, you can climb some rocks to have a wider view uphill of those set of reefs that gradually appear and fade out with the force of the waves.

This coastal path connects the large Platja d'Aro eastern beach to Torre Valentina beach in Calonge, named after the tower which once protected the farmhouse nearby.

Some areas in the path are carved in the very rocks, rounded off by erosion since time, in front of the forestland.

Two horizontal lines, one red and one white, mark the path, sometimes drawn up either on barks or rocks.

The first 2013 dive: Pelagia noctiluca, Mallorca

This is an offshore species, but sometimes, like today, you can find them stranded in big numbers on beaches ... well, approximately 1 km off my beach. 

This species has got the ability to glow at the dark and nervous cells work to move tentacles and capture preys and furthermore to produce a toxin, biological poison.

It's got one cavity, digestive apparatus and guts in one cavity. Only one way in and one way out for feed food.

If you find yourself stuck with so many jellies, better off you are wet-suited.

A short clip.

What about pollution in Mallorca (and everywhere)

Mallorca is a magnificent island, although millions of tourists every year and sometimes the people from the isle itself forget to respect it and throw their rubbish away, no matter where and what damages that can cause. It is a really easy thing to do: throw your rubbish in bins. Of course the world is going to go on and on spinning around for many other thousands of years even with all the world polluted.

But people like me would love to continue looking at and living in a world full of floras and faunas life, not in mere polluted globe, drown in plastic everywhere.

Don't diss please, just respect it.

Today's dive in Majorca

Still wonderful Majorca nearby Can Pastilla, had I had my car I would go somewhere else huh...

Less tourist and more sea-animals, guess they are trying to get back and repopulate after such a summer full of people fishing for sport.

It was good to catch a shy and big octopus... tomorrow I'll annoy him/her a little more...

... and plenty of small jellyfishes, lucky me actually low-sea-temperature won't allow me to dive without wetsuit =)

Winter sea preview at Mallorca

Some general views in the winter sea at Mallorca by Cala Estancia. Freezing water to only dare diving by wetsuit. Super-duper clear water and above all no tourists!

The prehistoric shell!!! Huuuuuge!

How to repair your wetsuit

First off you need a strong glue, Neoprene Cement will do it.

1. Apply this glue to the inner parts of the scratches on your wet suit.

2. Wait 5 minutes to let it dry a little bit.

3. Apply again 'till you fill the scratch doing so. You can consider to sew it using dental floss to get a stronger  repair.

4. Let it all dry for an extra 20 to 50 minutes depending on the glue.

That's it! Just wait a couple of hours before swimming again.

In order to do all this, your wet suit need to be completely dry.
