Nice Dive
Very ill before dive, D&V but predominantly V. Felt rough and advised dive centre - happy for me to dive and implied Id be cancelling. On the journey to and from the dive site was violently ill over side of the boat. Fine while diving.
Nice Large Blotched Ray, multiple whitetips and a larger shark. Large Pufferfish.
Lots of overhangs and under cuts to swim throughs, Quite strong motion at the surface
