Nice little dive on this scuttled patrol boat (about 50m long). When we were kitting up and getting in the water there was absolutely tonnes of divers around and we worried about that it would be like underwater. But as it turned out we were the only ones on the wreck as usual!
Arrived from the stern end and then made our way through the various rooms in the superstructure. Nessa was also awesome by shooting off the enemy with the large gun on deck in front of the wheelhouse. Nessa did a bit of a titanic pose at the bow for the camera. Visibility was good (you could see half of the wreck) but still felt a bit hazy in the water from the white sand that must have been kicked up by recent days winds.
Back along the reef into an area called Susie's pool. This was chocker-block with monkeys but we did find a sleeping cuttlefish and the smallest of octopuses clinging to an overhanging rock section.
