An exciting and thrilling drift-dive starting on the outside reef and ending in the Gulhi Channel itself. At the channel drop-off corner where the current is at its strongest, we hold on to watch the sharks playing with the current. Very often come of the white-tip and grey-reef sharks are getting very close to the divers. Not just sharks but also big stingrays and school of eagle-rays approaching out of the blue water.
If only I could hold my breath longer but the no-decompression limit forces me to let go of the rocks and we drift with the current into the channel. As we go along the reef and passing through interesting caves and washouts for stingrays before finishing the dive at the top of the reef.
