Diver's Notes

First of two dives on the North side of the Island, full day dive safari. Sandy Flat on the top of the wall as we jumped in and dived over the plateau and along this amazing wall that stretched all the way round the island.

I remember the healthy black coral and purple sea gorgonian fans. We saw a couple of eagle rays, hawksbill turtles too. Guessing the depth and duration as I didn't have a dive computer then
