Diver's Notes

Mooring line via zodiac, descended on morning line, moderate current at surface and as descended but at depth current improved. Wreck on right shoulder and moved around and then gradually ascended while circling exploring as went. At bottom corner found a good sized locust lobster (slipper lobster) purple nudi (photos) multiple reef fish. After a few laps the current then went fairly extreme with some divers struggling so group ascended. Couple of divers were pretty much out of air. Quite an enjoyable dive.
