Diver's Notes

An awesome dive, Jumped in to the middle of a tornado of Jack fish - hundreds all around and was able to get in the middle. Issue with Gopro dropped out (faulty battery with an issue - Managed to unfreeze and reboot after some messing around - long power press and left off for 10 minutes) Napoleon wrasee. Later in dive the jack fish were all being chased by a large Shark (Probably Grey Reef)
