Can YOU identify this Fish? Wilderness travel...Snorkeling in Palawan & Whale Sharks in Donsol... by Lee Goldman
This is Lee…Lee Goldman that is… I thought you might like this article and read about my recent experience in the Philippines...
Hi Lee, Gunther here…of course you always welcome and we are very happy to publish your real life stories, thanks Lee please keep it up, we appreciate your input very much.
See below the story which I have just received, thanks again to Lee Goldman, Marine Biologist, who always finds the time and supplying us with some interesting articles.
Who can Identify this Fish? Please
help...

Snorkeling the
Islands of Palawan. Okay, so the title sounds like we spent the
entire time in Palawan, but our first 2 days of the expedition were
snorkeling with Whale sharks in Donsol. Come ‘on, how can I
invite guests to the Philippines and not expose them to one of the
best big animal encounters a snorkeler can have!
This entry will be a quick one because how can I describe the
experience? Amazing, exhilarating, sometimes exhausting. Because
visibility often does not exceed 12 m, when you see a whale shark,
it is an up close and personal encounter! The guides put you right
near them and as they swim by, you are sometimes only a few feet
from them. My guests all commented on how amazing it was that they
actually had to swim away from the sharks rather than having to
chase them down. Needless to say, our experience with the whale
sharks in Donsol was exactly as it has always been promoted; come
and swim with lots of whale sharks. We swam with no less than
eight. We also had a chance to snorkel in the area. Due to
proximity of the rivers, visibility was not optimal, but we
didn’t miss a beat. Many varieties of fish and coral exist
there and for most of my guests, new species of fish were checked
off in their fish identification books. For one guest, an avid
admirer of nudibranchs, a new species of Phyllidia was her treat
for the day. As a guide who spent many years in the Philippines and
Palau, you may think I had seen it all. No way, that’s what I
love about the Philippines; new species of fish I may know but not
seen, or in my case in Donsol a new species of fish I had no idea
existed.
Even some of the better
ichthyologists could not help me with the identification. I intend
to pursue this one and will keep everyone updated as I know more.
Anyone out there with a suggestion?

Great NEWS...BUSUANGA AIRPORT in PALAWAN Philippines extended... now more flights,comfort...plus several Whaleshark sightings in the Coron Island area
NATURE is a lot closer now....
BUSUANGA AIRPORT Palawan Philippines...

CLUB PARADISE, EL RIO Y MAR
and the
DUGONG DIVE CENTER
Busuanga
Airport, landing point for
CLUB PARADISE, EL RIO Y MAR
and the
DUGONG DIVE CENTER now has a 1500
meter concrete runway plus a 400 meter gravel extension.
This gives a new dimension to tourism in the islands of the
Calamianes. Whereas before only 19 seater planes were able to land,
Busuanga airport is now being served by the super fast 32-seater Do
28 (needs only 35 minutes to get there from Manila) and the 50
seater Dash-7.
Starting next week, May 17, 2008 the service of a 72 seater plane
from Phil Airlines will begin daily flights. This will bring the
total seat capacity per year to about 100.000 seats yearly. New
hotels, lodging houses and resorts are under construction and on
the planning board. Present room capacity of 400 rooms will be
double within an
year.

The Government has decided to pave the road from Coron to Busuanga
Airport to modernize the road system and create more
comfort for all travelers. Guests of the
Philippine-Micronesia Alliance
and
CLUB PARADISE, EL RIO Y MAR and DUGONG DIVE
CENTER will get to
their destination a lot faster and more comfortably now.
This will increase their time to enjoy all the exciting dive sites
to see the Turtles, Dugongs, WWII Wrecks, a whole fleet was sunk in
this area and of course beautiful reefs in this area.
Another great NEWS is, several Whale-sharks have been in sighted in
the Coron, Palawan area, a good reason for planning your next trip
to PALAWAN...the Philippines best kept secret...NATURE at its
best.

This is the only place in the Philippines where you can observe
these amazing and gentle creatures in the wild, the area is well

Another

where some fossilized Dinosaurs dung has been sold for some US$
1000.00 very interesting reading...
GD
Dino
dung snapped up at auction
Jurassic-era coprolite, or fossilised dinosaur dung
Two pieces of dinosaur dung have been sold at auction for $960
(£486) at an auction house in New York.
The fossilised dung, which resembles rock on the outside, and a
colourful mineral inside, is 130 million years old, from the
Jurassic period.
Auctioneers Bonhams of New York said it sold for twice the expected
price.
The buyer is reported to be Steve Tsengas, the 71-year-old owner of
a company that sells products to treat pet animal waste in
Ohio.

Hi
Gunther,
The first PHILIPPINES Expedition for WILDERNESS TRAVEL is in the
books and as I have done in previous blogs I want to thank some of
the Philippine-Micronesian Alliance partners, Dirk Fahrenbach at
Dugong Dive Center at Club Paradise and Blue Horizon Travel for
their help in making it a successful tour. The highlights? How
about Whale sharks, fantastic snorkeling among fields of colorful
corals and abundant fish, Apo Reef National Park, and great
weather! The super-highlight? KAYAKING and LUXURY CAMPING in the
middle of some of the most beautiful scenery on the planet; the
limestone cliffs of El Nido, Palawan. Of course, our 5-star chef at
camp helped in areas all marine enthusiasts are familiar with:
growling stomachs at the end of a full day of fun…&
there be a lot more very soon… this is only an
appetizer.

Dirk Fahrenbach
from
Dugong
Dive Center strolled into
the office yesterday telling me about all those Dugongs in the area
at this time of the year; I guess the Dugong month has
started.
You should have been there the other day, he said…
Wow…we where snorkeling with five of them and two days later
another two posing for the cameras…now is the time to make a
trip to
Club Paradise and
Dugong
Dive Center.
Dirk
mention to me that the best month of the year are March, April and
May, Dugongs are always around in this part of the Philippines, but
during these month’s there are more sightings.
I have also received some info from our supporter Walter Ty about
an article on how a Dolphin rescued some stranded/beached Whales in
New Zealand, this shows you only to well that we have to take care
of our Oceans and Environment.
If a Dolphin
can rescue or take care of other species... then that is
amazing…what about us?
We need to do a lot more before it is to late!

Here
is the article on the rescue of Whales by a
Dolphin…
NZ
dolphin rescues beached whales
Courtesy of
the BBC
Moko the dolphin
Moko is well known locally for playing with swimmers in the
bay
A dolphin has come to the rescue of two whales that had become
stranded on a beach in New Zealand.
Conservation officer Malcolm Smith told the BBC that he and a group
of other people had tried in vain for an hour and a half to get the
whales to sea.
The pygmy sperm whales had repeatedly beached, and both they and
the humans were tired and set to give up, he said.
But then the dolphin appeared, communicated with the whales, and
led them to safety.
The bottle-nose dolphin, called Moko by local residents, is well
known for playing with swimmers off Mahia beach on the east coast
of the North Island.
Malcolm Smith
Mr. Smith said he gave the dolphin a pat to say thank you
Mr. Smith said that just when his team was flagging, the dolphin
showed up and made straight for them.
"I don't speak whale and I don't speak dolphin," Mr. Smith told the
BBC, "but there was obviously something that went on because the
two whales changed their attitude from being quite distressed to
following the dolphin quite willingly and directly along the beach
and straight out to sea."
He added: "The dolphin did what we had failed to do. It was all
over in a matter of minutes."
Mr. Smith said he felt fortunate to have witnessed the
extraordinary event, and was delighted for the whales, as in the
past he has had to put down animals which have become
beached.
He said that the whales have not been seen since, but that the
dolphin had returned to its usual practice of playing with swimmers
in the bay.
"I shouldn't do this I know, we are meant to remain scientific,"
Mr. Smith said, "but I actually went into the water with the
dolphin and gave it a pat afterwards because she really did save
the day."

Dear
Gunther,
In your recent
blog, you did me the honor of mentioning my upcoming expedition to
Palawan, Philippines with Wilderness
Travel. I greatly
appreciate this, but I have “a correction” to
make.
We are doing more than
just paddling by
Club Paradise in Northern
Palawan;
we
are stopping there for 4 days to take advantage of their amazing
resort and local abundance of rare and beautiful marine
life.
Dirk
Fahrenbach from the Dugong Dive Center
has
offered to arrange trips to visit one of the largest continuous
reef systems in the world,
Apo
Reef National Park.
There we will
snorkel among thousands of reef fish and hundreds of coral species.
Truly one of the most diverse regions on the planet! We will also
spend a day snorkeling with Dugongs. These rare marine mammals are
residents in the local waters and, with the help of
Club
Paradise and local
awareness, remain as one of the most protected marine mammal in the
Philippines. This protection is why they are so readily observed in
the area and often remain in the company of awe-inspired
snorkelers.
Few other places on the planet can offer such a treat for the
marine naturalist.

When
I designed this trip, Club
Paradise was an easy
addition and we are glad that they have been so accommodating. We
are looking forward to paddling in the local waters and landing on
the beach for overnights at their award
winning facility!
This
is what luxury expedition kayaking is all about!

Philippines.

Dirk Fahrenbach
fand auf der philippinischen Insel Dimakya eine neue Heimat. Der
Tauch- lehrer und Dokumentarfilmer führt Urlauber durch eine
Unterwasserlandschaft, die alseine der artenreichsten welt-weit
beschrieben wird. Die Riffregionen sind gefährdet. Jahrzehnte
sprengten die Fischer ihre Lebensgrundlage mit Dynamit kaputt. Die
Seekühe, die Dugongs, wurden Fast
ausgerottet.
Von
Lutz Peter Kaubisch
Die Rückkehr
der Dugongs

Jahrmillionen
zerrten tektonische Kräfte an den Kontinenten. Geologische Gewalt
formte sie mit baumeisterlicher Beharrlichkeit. Vulkane,
Meeresströme und atmosphärische Umwälzungen schufen das Klima und
änderten es - immer wieder. Im mittleren Pleistozän, vor 175000
Jahren, fiel der Meeresspiegel. Es dauerte eine Weile; dann ragte
dort, wo die eurasische Kontinentalplatte Asien trägt, eine
Landbrücke aus dem Wasser. Sie führte im Bogen nach Südosten, zu
einer Inselgruppe aus Magmagestein. Die Öfen unter der Erdkruste
hatten sie nach oben gefeuert und Sonne und Ozean überlassen.
Die Naturkräfte inszenierten ein mächtiges Schauspiel. Die
Erdzeitalter hatten die Kulisse geschaffen: einen der größten
Archipele auf dem Planeten, die Philippinen. Reiseveranstalter
schwärmen heute von „smaragdgrünen bis türkisfarbenen
Lagunen“, in denen „eine faszinierende Welt exotischer
Fische und Korallen“ ihre „unerschöpfliche
Farbenpracht“ entfaltet. Werbetexte, die die exotischen
Refugien auf der Erde beschreiben, sind oft beliebig und
austauschbar. Sie versprechen den „einzigartigen
Urlaub“ an „feinsandigen Palmenstränden“. Sie
bieten touristische Schnellkost.
Wenn Dirk Fahrenbach den Außenborder aufdreht, schafft das kleine
Boot die Strecke zwischen Busuanga- und Dimakya-Island vielleicht
rechtzeitig. Der Mann ist ein Hüne:.........

Dear Gunther,
A statement from me:
As owner of Diveguide.com, an 11 year old dive travel website. I have traveled the world promoting diving and dive resorts. I can honestly say that Club Paradise is certainly a slice of Paradise. A private island, great diving, great staff, beautiful surroundings. This property is great for couples, honeymooners and families. I certainly would recommend this property to dive professionals I know in the industry!
I would like to thank Gunther Deichmann and The Philippine-Micronesia Alliance for introducing this part of the Philippines to me.
