Diver's Notes

Zodiac out and drift back to the boat, Reef on right diving East to South.
Napoleon Wrasses, long armed cleaner shrimp. A very large Barracuda hanging out and allowed tollerated the divers around it.
Towards end of the div spotted a Green turtle signalled and followed back to boat before it headed off. A nice end to the dive.
