Second day diving at Tortuga, Visibility was better today and we did both dives to the south of the island at a different spot.
Loads of Barraccuda in a huge school on the first dive and about 20 white tips. Large eagle rays too.
Second dive we saw some Galapagos sharks and more white tips. During our safety stop we saw a large black manta go past us on the surface.
