Diver's Notes

Mala Wharf was SO unexpectedly amazing! Difficult technical entry on rocky pier. dive takes place along collapsed pier. one big obstacle course - but fun. saw amazing nudis including Spanish Dancer and Scrambled Egg. Also saw a purple and black nudi - never seen before. Crazy giant slug about 2 feet long. lime green and yellow eel came out to hunt and swam around us for several minutes. Saw giant blue eel hunting as well. White mouth eels too. Beautiful decorator crab with sponge on back. Saw biggest conch shell ever with animal inside. Truly memorable dive.
