Diver's Notes

The dive started by an amazing eagle ray greeting us ! and we met her again 5mins later after she left, gently flying in mid-water - beautiful !
Huge (golliath?) grouper on the sandy bottom, the usual spider crabs and big moray.
The dive was chillier than it used to be...
Soles were awkwardly fighting each other

Training : 1mins holding breath : FAIL :( need to google for proper techniques...
