Diver's Notes

Deep wall (35m) the dive started by a 5 mins journey to the start of the wall .. and we caught glimpse of a huge turtle ! Unfortunately she wasn't very friendly and swam away

Funniest fact was a small cavity with 2 lobsters and one lion fish living together in an awkward mixed family
