Diver's Notes

Dive from zodiac

Problems occurred during dive due to misunderstanding between myself and the guide. I was low on no-decrompression time, but was asked to descend (due to strong currents). For a short while I had to struggle against the current, and the dive was cut somewhat short. In retrospect, I should probably have skipped the dive as it was at the limits of my abilities and training.

Saw:
Grey Reef Shark (at a distance, and below)
