Seeing only corals but visibility is average therefore not much of the marine life can be tracked nearby too but we happen to see a small grey shark.
First ever experience diving in a v rough sea condition which the wave height is like 3m and above we were left stranded on the surface for 10 minutes before the boat come n receive us. Slowly we are being pushed closer to the shores and it is too shallow for us which might end up my tank stuck between the corals so we swim back out again.
Got myself injured when trying to get up the boat without noticing a giant wave is smashing to me and i refuse to let go. Took us 30minutes just to get back to the sutera jetty from Sapi island under horrendous rain and wave crest while my dive buddy dunstan still conducting his dive course with others for his 3rd dive.Crazy.
