Diver's Notes

Dernière plongée des vacances : un régal !
Visite de la plus petite des deux épaves et rencontre avec un champ d'anguilles jardinières pas trop farouches (quasi impossibles à photographier cependant !). Découverte dans une belle éponge d'un frogfish orange. Incroyable animal (des photos très bientôt).
