John Frum and some more diving

So yesterday eveing I went to participate in an ‚John Frum‘-excursion. This cult is some kind of religion only on the island of Tanna. I had thought that there would be a flag-raising (I had seen pictures of that) but that was not what happened. There was a gathering house in a village where 6 men with guitars were already sitting with some villagers around them. They started to sing then and people started to dance. After a while I realized that women were dancing on one side while the men were dancing on the other side. And the women were wearing special gowns that remind of the Kustom dances. It was a very special evening… they gather each friday evening and when members of the cult come over from other villages they sing and dance till the next morning. Didn’t happen yesterday but I really enjoyed it. It was very dark (just one lamp) so the pics are not the best. Video would be better because without the music he pics are only half the fun… but I have to check when I get back how to best upload them. When I took the pics (standing below the lamp) two guys come to me and asked if I could take their pic. 🙂
This morning we went diving in Blue Hole 2 and that was nice. Inside the big pool the corals are still colourful while outside they have been damaged by PAM. In the afternoon I went with Wayne, the owner of the resort, back to the Circus-dive site where I have already been 3 times so far. Found one new flatworm, one nudi we found the day before yesterday as well, something I honestly have no clue if this is a flatworm… and on that dive-site there are lots of little balls that are actually eggs (not sure if fish, octopus or nudibranches). And I saw one where a little crab was inside and thought it had been caught inside… then I saw another one that had three things inside that looked like nudibranches. So I think that the crab and the nudibranches were inside eating the eggs…
