Diver's Notes

beautiful house reef at Sheraton hotel (we should have stayed there!!!)
highlights of the dive:
- broke the lock system of my cetatek fins - and had to rave back and forth to the shop for a new pair of fins....
in the water it was awesome : loads is sea life including a rockfish, puffer giant turtle and the usual local marine life : butterflyfish, goldies, parrotfish bannerfish....
the only missing species was the clownfish!
door with gopro and 100mm macro - the 100mm is really tough to use!
