Diver's Notes

Should have been the best dive of the 3 as was effectively private guided on rhe hunt for some resident white tips. However the guide got confused between Bar so when I signaled half tank he aborted rapidly.
Having had two previous dives with the same guide all abandoned due to gear issues with another diver so was hoping to enjoy a normal length dive. Everyone has to learn but when he realised I was on half tank it was tough luck.
There was more on this site and a decent current around. Some Morays , selection of Rays and porcupine fish kept it interesting and we managed to get some time with the white tip reef sharks
Before the dive all over divers where dropped off so ended up a late finish and seemed a bit counter intuiitive as the dive site was not far from the Marina - Could have jumped in , done the drop offs and came back?
