Diver's Notes

Had to navigate this site with a compass. The zig-zag pattern we are to dive it got a bit confusing sometimes, but the viz was the best viz I have ever experienced in Fujairah. Successfully navigated to Shark Island where we saw 2 turtles, but had to cut the dive short as Kat's regs free-flowed on the surface and she was low on air.
