Haunted

Because of calm seas, Miguel’s Diving has been able to take Gorontalo’s Governor Fadel diving a couple of days. Today we introduced him to a new dive site, Jinn Caves. Visibility was a very nice 25 meters. Appropriately enough, a large juvenile batfish appeared out of the gloom. The governor described the site as shadowy and unnerving, telling his wife who was relaxing on board that he saw the two large eyes of a jinn. This remains an unconfirmed sighting.

However, on the ride to the second dive site, we all saw a cetacean gently breaking the smooth surface of the water several times. Noticeably more robust than our usual dolphin and with a small, deformed-looking dorsal fin, it may have been a pilot whale or a hump-backed dolphin. Its color was more bronze than black. We are checking with the experts.
