51. 19 Sept., 1964 (Sat.) - Spent a few hours at PX, then, since the water was clear around here, went diving on North side of Sand. Saw a great many new fish. One school of 500-600 mullet swirled me, swimming round & round - so thick I could not see through them - really great. Mmmmmm - mmmmmm - a pear was very tantalizing here. Most of the coral has been killed by the coral dust following dredging, but some pieces are still alive & may make it if it stays clear. 20 Sept., 1964 Diving North Island. Phil has his new Nikonos underwater camera & takes many pictures. The camera is a good one - I hope the shots come out. Two men spear a Moray Eel - prob. 25-30"'s. the largest I have seen. The water clear as a bell. Shells & barncudes now reported too scarce within the reef - perhaps they will begin spawning. We have yet to see either. Divers were spearing fish for photography on land. We take them & preserve them - 6 butterfly fish, 1 Moonfish Idol, 1 wrasse, 1 Trigger Fish, 2 Surgeon Fish + other? I hope the colors lasts - I have photographed them, however.
