Diver's Notes

Another awesome dive... Photographers really had 'scared' or at least made the sharks decide to move off to deeper water. There were only around 5 hanging up towards the grotto. I found them in 28mtrs+ although they appeared to be headed back up to the grotto area - there was allot of current as you moved away from the protection of the grotto area. A massive wobbegong swam over a ledge then straight at and over me... I froze it was huge. I had the best day diving!!!
