Diving again

In Liberia, the arrival of the rainy season produced poor diving conditions as millions of gallons of muddy water were washed into the port. Bizarrely, in Benin the opposite is happening - the dirt washed into the port seems to settle the sediment. I dived after rain on Tuesday and today, and on both occasions visibility was excellent. On Tuesday I dived right under the Africa Mercy, and could even see light coming from the other side. Below us was what can only be described as a fog of sediment that was hanging low to the seabed. Today we swam through a shoal of small fish which glimmered in the sunlight...it was just like diving in a resort (except for the floating garbage that was clogging our cooling intakes). Next time I'll try to take a water-proof camera down with us. Olly
