Comments :
The Fish Market is just pure awesomeness (hang on and watch everything as the incoming tide hits the front of this small reef). Nothing else can be said, pure awesomeness. We saw a good variety of sharks. 1 large hammerhead trailed by a few white tip reef sharks and then followed by a grey reef shark. We saw a few more Grey reef sharks (I love grey reef sharks they just look like what shark should look like). One of the grey reef's came really close, within 3 meters (awesome). Again saw a few of the potato cod. Large schools of fish dominated the water column. Surgeon fish near the reef, then the sharks and cod, followed by large schools of trevally and rainbow runner (no tuna this time).
