Second dive of the the day from Cydive I after a good break in Agios Georgios fishing harbour. Only couple of minutes boat ride to the dive site on the northern side of Geronisos island.
A bit more fish on this one. Entrance to a cavern said to be full of shrimps in 30m, but couldn't go in because the first ones to enter where coming out at the same time.
Used a lot of air for some reason, maybe due to a lot of finning during this and previous dive. No-deco limit also came too near, so I started surfacing earlier and missed a couple of swimtroughs.
