Thanks! It was quite amazing out there. Hot, but beautiful :)

We were told that when those birds come around on Land it means rain is coming. :). We called this bird Helekosi (scissors).

Ah good to know! Is that the Tongan name? I tried to find online but couldn’t

Hey so I found a bit of info about helekosi on Wikipedia. The other Tongan name is Lofa. There are two types of Lofa. Lofa Lalahi ( large) and Lofa iiki ( small). It’s in the family of the Frigata/Frigatidae.

@@niumotuu8642 ah thanks! I looked it up again a little while ago. And the big ones have the red gullet than expands. But I think the small ones are the only founds in Tonga. Very cool animal!

Love the crab and drone sequences

Haha. I got lucky with the crab. That was taken on my iPhone. Gets better closeups than the GoPro apparently

Sharks are generally only feeding at that spot in the mornings. Afternoon swims are not a problem
