Diver's Notes

Two Resident Dugongs Dennis and Dougal hand around the sea grass in this shallow dive, not much else to see we were trying to find them and Yassar spotted Dennis the male sea cow. Loads of Garden eels too
Amazing to see them grazing on the sea grass, hung around and watched them in all their beauty.
Single dive of the day
