Diver's Notes

this dive is somewhat harder for me. the current is rather strong. if i don't move at all, the current bring me so far away from my other buddies. but when i tried to swim a little bit to slow my movement, the current will take me up.

so, i choose to swim with the current, all of my team is far but i can still see them. ergo, i cannot look up to my guide for fish id. sooo, i just enjoy the ride...wooohoooo

saw a cute scorpionfish, but the current too strong, i can't take a decent photo. hmppph, it's time to bring my sj4000 to my dives i think.
