Long boat journey to nearby island where, mink whales sometimes hang out. Very strong surface current when we jumped in and that continued along the wall once we decended. Not a great deal of sea life but very impressive hard coral formation on the first dive.

Still a strong current along the wall, nice fans and different levels, not much big fish, maybe overfishing. On the plateau sandy area had nice soft corals, anemones

Amazing visibility 25m + but pretty strong current, supposed to be hammerheads but we saw very little large fish, probably due to overfishing. Gentle sloping to a nice wall drift dive
