Diver's Notes

Very poor visibility at start and end of the dive - aprox 1-2m but middle of dive was ok. Turtle spotted at the start of the dive and 2 others during the dive.(1 Hawksbill) Octopus, and a massive Moray. We dropped to around 30m but not much to see. Did a couple of laps around pinnacles and then just milled about under the boat, Usual reef fish
