Big Brains on Speyside

Reputely the biggest brain coral in the western hemisphere at Speyside in Tobago. FOTW recently sent divers out to measure it up on behalf of the Guiness Book of Records. FOTW friend Katy is seen here, having forgotten to put her contact lenses in, looking at a big pebble.
Thnaks to Katy and Gareth for volunteering to travel to Tobago on behalf of FOTW on this size critical mission.

Blue feather coral

Havn't got a clue as to where this one was spotted but it is a fine example of a feather coral, delightfully backlit for maximum effect.

Ras Um Sid

This month we have a superb Gorgolian fan coral for your delictation. Ras Um Sid, probably named after someone forgetful called Sid, is surprisingly excellent drift dive in the Naama Bay locality. Well worth a look.

Beautiful Brains

Once again we feature FOTW's only national geographic diver. This time Hilary has appropriately found a couple of beautiful brain corals to pose above.

Castle Bank

The unmistakable Carribean soft corals of Castle Bank reef, off the south coast of Barbados.

Woodhouse Reef Tiran Straits

This month we have stayed with Woodhouse as our reef of the month because I thought you would all like to see this delightful coral pinnacle.

Woodhouse Reef Tiran Straits

This excellent example of a brain coral was spotted whiilst ascending to the surface at the north-east end of Woodhouse Reef in the Tiram Straits.

Jackson Reef Tiran Straits

Following complaints that Reef of the Month was a little short of Reefs heres a nice little coral head I drifted past recently on Jackson Reef in the Tiran Straits.
