Sweet Lip
Part of the Gaterinidae family. Frequents coral reefs and feeds mainly on small invertebrates
Charonia tritonis Linne`
Triton, the god of the sea, is customarily shown blowing a trumpet fashioned from this foot long shell. Throughout the ages man has used this shell as a horn, but certain tribes made the "blowing hole" on the side of the shell, whilst others cut off the apex at the narrow end. The operculum of the triton is a large, heavy, horny trapdoor.
Triton shells feed mainly on star fish as seen in my photograph and when hungry will even eat the famous "Crown- of - Thorns " starfish.
Vuma Caves
These fabulous blow holes are situated near Kilifi where we do our days diving safari. Enter the wide entrance at 18 metres and swim down the tunnel for about 50 metres before exiting onto the coral shelf at approximately 10 metres through the chimney. The reverse penetration is even more fun!!
Vuma Caves
The wide entrance to the cave. Here you can all go in as one group, but then one by one through the cave which narrows down to just over a metre across!!
