Diver's Notes

Nice dive, dropped onto wreck of Yolanda, bit of current so dropped low, over the bathroom suites/toilets. Current picked up so went onto full rapid drift. Cruised and spotted green turtle which came in close, found a walking false stonefish pos Walkman. Then a large stonefish, 2 scorpionfish. Managed to collect some stray fishing line. Hung in the blue and large school of batfish.
