Diver's Notes

Nitrox night dive on boat. Few issues as video light was strong light but not very directed. Also as had used wrist lanyard was difficult to see dive computer and gauges. Also made signalling hard. Advised 45min max length but was nearly an hour, finished at surface below 50bar as waiting for others to complete safety stop
Sleeping Parrotfish in mucus cocoon, Nudibrancs,shrimps, lobster. Cuttlefish at a lower depth. Hermit crabs and some tiny crabs on sea stars.
Reef on Left as went along the wall and ventured into small caves and overhangs
