with Larry Smith and Bill Acker

Due to overwhelming success of Critter Hunt 2004, as well as the fact that we didn't dive as many sea fans as I wanted to in search of Pygmy Sea Horses, Larry Smith and I have decided to "Do it Again Next Year!".

We have set the dates for the four sessions. Each session will be limited to 10 people and each session will have a well known underwater photographer to not only chronicle what we find but also to provide photo tips and assistance to our guests. Larry will be here and, along with Bill Acker, will be with the guests for each of the dives!

The first session runs from June 22nd to 29th, 2005. The second session is from the 29th of June until the 6th of July. Session number 3 runs from the 6th of July to the 13th and the final session is from the 13th to the 20th.

The first 2 sessions will feature local underwater photography superstar Mr. Tim Rock and the last 2 sessions will be filmed by famed Cousteau cinematographers Bill & Susan Macdonald. Additionally the last session will feature the world's foremost fish identification person - Mr. Max Gibbs of the U.K!

As there will only be 10 people in each session and we believe that 100% of this year's Critter Hunters will join us again, early reservations are strongly recommended.

Another new wrinkle for next year will be the awarding of a prize for each session's best Critter Hunter. Special awards will be given to the person from each week's session to find the best critter(s)..

This is a lot of fun and a fantastic opportunity for discovery. So please pencil in the dates on your calendar and make plans to join us in Yap at the Manta Ray Bay Hotel for Critter Hunt 2005 featuring Larry Smith and Bill Acker.
