Diver's Notes

Very boring dive for about 95% of the time.

Saw an incredibly large school of pufferfish

Just as I thought the dive was a total waste of time, we see a glimpse
of a gigantic Smooth Stingray.

But he swam away.

And then he came back. For a good look. Great look in fact. We could touch him if we wanted to. He was probably more than 1.5 m in diameter.

With Boris Deletic.

9mm wetsuit.
