Diver's Notes

Very nice wall drift dive, reef on left.
White tip reef sharks and multiple at times. brilliant bright red sea anemones with clownfish, Yellow margined Moray, Green Nudi and large group of snappers and other reef fish.
Towards the end of the dive had aproximately 4 minutes alongside a Whale Shark as it came from behind. Unfortunately a russian diver decided to swim out and alongside so guides ended our encounter prematurely.
