Gaya Island's Proboscis Monkey Surprise

It's fascinating: after two years of diving all around TARP, I only discovered yesterday that there was a troop of the endangered Proboscis Monkey on Gaya Island! The little known fact re-emerged when divers rescued a drowning monkey off Sapi Island.

This picture of a Golden Damsel (Ambylglyphidodon aureus) was taken on 28th August 2007 near where the monkey was subsequently rescued.
