Diver's Notes

Pretty windy so visibility wasn't great although the dive was calm and relaxed.Didn't get much joy with the camera as there was a lot of backscatter in the water.Did see two titan Trigger fish building their nest.Also saw the ubiquitous Blue Spotted Ribbon tail raises well as a large Batfish.
