This one is for Mike! One of my many jobs is to clean the big fish tank at the Mandarin head office in Brampton, Ontario. And yes, there are sharks in there.

Vanuatu is a haven for snorkelling, reef and wreck diving, and sport fishing.
Since the success of the film ‘Finding Nemo’, demand for tropical fish has soared. But the seas of the Pacific are literally being emptied to feed this frenzy.
Tropical fish are now virtually worth their weight in gold. “Everybody wants one because of this Nemo film,” explains SRS Manager Larry Dacles. His company has a monopoly on tropical fishing in Vanuatu, home to some of most popular tropical fish in the world. SRS has alienated local tourism operators, who depend on the tropical fish as an attraction, and the traditional owners of the reefs, and scientists who are fearing an ecological disaster in the making. “They take anything and everything,” complains one local. “It’s out of control.” Already there has been a 50% fall in tropical fish from the reefs. Now, it’s not so much a case of finding Nemo as saving him.

Video shows Osprey diving after fish, feeding nestlings, tearing food apart, swooping, calling, defending nest, responding to intruders, protecting nestlings, nestling, flying and other characteristics of their lives. In one part of the video, the osprey carries a large chunk of fish in its talons. In other parts, osprey can be seen diving for prey.
Although the osprey usually eats fish, they can also eat rodents, amphibians, reptiles, and birds. In this video, an osprey is shown suddenly changing course in mid-air. Possibly it planned a dive, but it also may have tried to catch a bird, because it nearly went into a tree. A very low jet flew over just before it dived and possibly it mistook it for a large predator and dove to escape.
The Osprey (Pandion haliaetus) is also called the fish eagle, seahawk, or fish hawk. It is a huge fish-eating predator. This raptor is 24 in. in length, has a 6 ft. wingspan, and can weigh up to almost 5 lbs.
Its head is white with a dark mask across the eyes that reaches to the sides of the neck. The irises of its eyes are golden to brown with a transparent bale blue nictitating membrane. It is whitish on the head and underparts with a brownish eyepatch and wings.
It has a very complicated call, as shown here-with a large vocabulary of sounds. Its calls include sharp whistles, and a sort of shreek. In this video, as boaters approached the nest, the birds gave a great variety of calls. The Osprey can arch its wings, which gives it a gull type appearance.
Ospreys normally mate for life and live 20-25 years.
In heraldry, the Osprey is depicted as a white eagle. It is featured on 50 postage stamps. In mythology, a king became a sea eagle to attack his dauthter when she fell in love with Minos, king of Crete.
It has been variously classified with the falcons, hawks, and eagles. It is unusual in that it is a single species that occurs nearly everywhere in the world and in all climates.

Diving Koh Phi-Phi, Thailand Nov-Dec 2004.
Filmed when I worked as a Dive Instructor at Sea Frog. The stay was aborted by the tsunami.
Phi-Phi dive sites:
- Marine park: Typically we go out to the Bidah Islands and to the sites around Maya Bay (THE Beach), but we also have various other alternatives. Bidah is two small islands (Bidah Nok / Bidah Nai) that we swim around and almost always see leopard sharks, schools of squid and tons of other reef fish. Around Maya Bay we have some nice swimthroughs, lion fish, titan triggerfish, turtles and black tip reef shark.
- King Cruiser Wreck / Phuket Shark Point / Anemone Reef: The King Cruiser is a 85m long car ferry that sank in May 1997 after crashing into the only rock between Phuket and Phi-Phi (Anemone Reef). Before you could penetrate the wreck through the car deck, but the roof has now collapsed several places. The wreck has a special atmosphere (like a ghost town) and lots of big lionfish, scorpion fish and other reef fish.
- Hin Daeng / Hin Muang: This is THE site to see big fish! The sites are beautiful submerged pinnacles, 70 km from Phi-Phi, where we usually see mantas, giant morays, great barracudas and sharks. This is also the site with the most frequent whale shark encounters. Even without the big fish this is a excellent site in every way.
