          Lake Malawi Safari '06'  

The next morning we left Chizumulu Island and headed for Likoma Island. We set up camp at Yofu Bay. This is a large protected bay with a village set in the back ground, so there was many small on-lookers while we set up and had dinner.

After a little stargazing and we turned in for the night. There was a slight breeze and the night air was cool, but not cold. A fallen  branch from a Baobab Tree nearby was burning and crackling most of the night,,,until it came down with a crash around 1 am. 

Ad had to start some of his research here in this bay, so he pointed me in the direction of where I should find Copadichromis  trewavasae. Sure enough there it was at 70 ft. of depth!

Ad had the research gear packed up and then turned to me and asked "so where would you like to dive now". How about Ndumbi Rocks, he then just smiled, as this location was right at the entrance to the bay. This was a five minute trip!

Ndumbi Rocks is probably one of the best dives I had had in Malawi. The water was clear, even thought the wind was blowing. The water depth ran from the surface to far below where a diver can go, well at least with my present camera housing .
