Diver's Notes

Zodiac to Zodiac, jumped north Plateau by water pipe from scuttled ship, reef on right, dropped to 36m and looked for the Hammerheads, unfortunately not to be found. Group of tech divers went deep and didn't find any. 2 Germans from our group followed that group and abandoned us. Came back after about 8 mins having done most of their air and as a result aborted the dive early - horrendous diving as meant they ended the dive early and meant as a group we had to spend time waiting for them wrecking everyone else's dive. Denied any wrongdoing too.
Chris had a slight DC issue so stayed close to me.
Barracuda and Napoleon, walls were full of life but was personally hanging in the Blue looking for the larger pelaegics.
Nitrox 25
