Aaron and I returned to the uninhabited island in glorious sunshine but shortly after we arrived a huge thunder storm bore down on us. We managed to outrun it in our kayak and it made for some dramatic images.

The approaching storm front.

We found this trench where the water remained several meters deep even at low tide when the rest of the lagoon was only a few feet deep. It contained lots of coral and trapped fish seeking refuge from the shallow water. The concentration of fish made for some very good snorkelling.






A rare breed of Izenian rock Shisa.





Waves crash behind brilliant white surf as the storm clouds gather.
