Diver's Notes

Current had eased off from the previous couple of days and visibility was still a decent 15 metres.Had my first ever Shark encounter!!!
First encounter was of the 2 metre ANGEL SHARK sleeping under a rock formation over hang which was amazing.
Hovering just outside the cave entrance we watched as the shark stirred and then swam about a metre under me and swam off over the rocks.Ten minutes later we encountered it again resting.AWESOME.
Also saw a Moray Eel and 2 large Trumpet Fish.
