Diver's Notes

This is my favourite dive site of the trip. Due to yesterday's water temperature condition, we rent 1 piece of 5mm wet suit from the dive centre and added 1kg weight. 1st time with these setting, not so used to it especially the buoyancy.

A Korean Instructor followed our dive today.

The Mantas are huge (5m) and getting so close to us. There were at least 5 or 6 wondering at the "cleaning station".

I found that the ethics and behaviour of the divers overhere quite "civilise". When we encountered Manta, most of us just gave a "ding" rather than noisy alarm which will scare the fish away. This happened in Thailand and other place.
