Kat, the Dugong
29 mar 2007 | Source: DiveSter

Karen Wilshaw has posted one of the most fabulous stories ever on DivePhotoGuide. Karen lives on Cocos Island -- about 560 miles south-west of Christmas Island, its closest neighbor -- and works for Cocos Dive. Four years ago, Karen learned that a dugong had moved in to the area, and although this news was pretty much unbelievable (the nearest known dugong habitat is in Australia, 1700 miles away!), she was pleasantly surprised to discover that it was true. Amusingly, Kat, the dugong, enjoys being in the presence of divers, and he even seems to engage in play with them. Karen's story about Kat is fantastic -- and the photos she's posted are just as good! Oh, how I wish I could hop on a plane and fly out there for a visit right now!
