Diver's Notes

Pretty lame dive
Not too much to see, did the majority of the dive against the current which was medium and had to dive there because they suggested the current would be too strong in the channel following a couple of days of rougher seas
Reef on right, Whitetip reef shark on top of reef at start of dive although not much to see. couple of yellow margin Morays and swim through some overhangs - Red small Nudibranch in one of the overhangs, had to hug reef wall due to current
One cool swim through of a chimney. Spotted a couple of Grey Reef Sharks in the blue. Guide suggested current was too strong to continue round (although was a surprise as seemed exactly the same. At that point we drifted back to where we started along the wall. At end of dive attractive juvenile fish.
