Diver's Notes

Zodiac out and a drift along the wall, Longnose hawkfish spotted on Gorgonian Fan coral. Nicely coloured coral (Soft) along wall and overhang. Over wall and and reef to second shallower wall. Small Hawksbill Turtle, Small scorpionfish, Barracudas, Blue spotted Rays. Reef on the right and had to swim through a small channel with hard core current. Starfish on the way back to the boat.
French couple were sharing air and had to surface very early after swimming through channel. Probably shouldn't have been with the advanced group as not great underwater, aggressive towards other divers when trying to look at things
