Buddy-dived with Phil, but tagged along with Florine and Shengnan. Florine had told us about a great site with large soft coral.
Had to wait a little while for Shengnan to sort out her buoyancy, then for a first stop we headed to the postbox. I posted a card to Tanya and another card which I had taken down from another diver and nearly lost!
We then swam to the cave, had a poke around that, then kept going. I was a little confused because when we looked at the map, Florine had insisted that was the spot. We kept following Florine until Shengnan was down to 110 bar, at which point I signalled that I would take Shengnan back, but it got lost in translation and the entire group turned around.
Found a huge anemone with lots of clownfish, a couple of the standard ones and a big group of the smaller black-and-white ones. I had always thought these were the young, but Florine later said they're a different species.
We then spent a very long time at ~5m; in retrospect we should have spent some more time elsewhere as we all came back with over 60bar left.
