Diver's Notes

Best dive I've done in PNG!

Descended down shotline to the bow of the MV Pacific Gas. Swam along the deck down the port side to the stern & returned along the starboard side. Stern at 40m (deck level). Saw large school of mangrove jacks swimming around the bridge area. Also, beautiful corals all over the ship. On return, dropped down into the cargo hold at the bow and saw the biggest moray eel I have ever seen in my life!
