Diver's Notes

Our dive master was able to spot the Humphead Wrasse from the swallow water of the reef. We were chasing them from the surface, finning towards them. The group of Humpheads easily more than 30 of them were looking for sea apples for their lunch. The size of the wrasse was about 5ft long.

We managed to surround them for a close look. Their teeth were really razor-sharp.
