Diver's Notes

Issue with Gopro showing no battery (Used sparingly but lasted dive?
Less photo's than usual - Wall dive with buddy, explored strong currents an found two large boxer shrimp. Went around reef edge and found very strong counter currents so used this to mark out dive as we shallowed had a Grey reef Shark come in to investigate at 6 to 8 metres, buddy was on top of reef circa 4m and he said thinks same shark went on top of reef too.
Guide did not believe Grey reef that shallow until showed footage. Said sometimes happens after storms as normally they are a lot shallower and a bit less inquisitive
