Diver's Notes

Pretty poor dive, not much better than the one before.
Saving grace was a turtle and a couple of Whitetips. Last dive and extremely underwhelming not much other than plain wall with little other than blue trigger fish.
Spotted Napoleon Wrasse, Whitetips and Hawksbill towards end of dive.
