Dropped straight onto a turtle and saw one more during the dive. Spotted no less than five napoleon wrasse and huge schools of glassfish.
Strange (but not very strong) current during the dive going both with and against us and pushing us up and down. Can be a lot worse in this spot.
Visibility not great. Mostly 15-20 meters and sometimes a bit worse. (Expectations on visibility are high here...)
