38.2m - 30 min - Dived with Ricardo from Gri Gri Divers

Awesome wreck site - did not swim through though. Plenty life, one huge grouper hidden in the dark in the loading bay Pretty deep dive ! One of the push button of my ikelite housing broke - water flooded in and camera is in a shrodinger state :D Deepstop 15m

Smallish sunk boat, amazing coral garder all around the place with a nice ray (electric ?) plenty shrimps, one huge lobster and plenty garden eels. The dive ended up in a swim through the main cabin and out up the upper deck

34.3m - 41 min - Dived with Ricardo from Gri Gri Divers

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

Shallow dive with loads of sea life. The journey started with a playful eel that started dancing for us around its rock - beautiful spectacle. Huge grouper plenty baby fish all over the place, one nice sea star found under a rock

12.4m - 52 min - Dived with Ricardo from Gri Gri Divers

Reef with plenty life, a huge barracuda passed by during the dive. Played with a little shrimp while Mike was taking pics. HUGE hermit crab in a big shell. Nice stonefish swimming and landing on a rock. Tried the ikelite housing - seems like the fix was a success.

Reef with 3 caves, one of which is supposed to be home to a nurse shark - but no luck it was nursing away today! Pretty similar to the previous dive, plenty squirrelfish, lionfish, a few rays, trumpetfish, pufferfishes... Beautiful jellyfish awaiting us on exit.

Beautiful dive, a bunch of stigngrays, plenty tiny morays, one juvenile lionfish and even a gorgeous flatfish and a playful cuttlefish. Very shallow but so beautiful ! There are 2 seahorses and a couple of frogfishes - but we missed them - need to go back !

43.5m - 27 min - Dived with Philippe from Gri Gri Divers

One big barracuda interested in Philippe's shiny regulator. Went through the wreck on lower and upper decks - amazing experience! Little start of narcosis after the 43.5m touchdown

8.2m - 17 min - Dived with Philippe from Gri Gri Divers

We dove straight after St George to go check out the seahorses - bad news when we reached their place I started having itches/tickles in the side of the neck (?). Since previous dive was deep I said we cancel and made a 10min 5m deco stop... Most probably it's a jellyfish sting but... who knows... Still haven't seen those sea horses :/
