Diver's Notes



First dive of the day Turned into a drift dive this one, pretty strong current took us along we just went with it, hardly had to fin. Loads of huge Gorgonian fans on the granite boulders, soft corals.
Saw schools of batfish, barracuda and jacks. Stronger currents between the rocks.
